Resolution proposal:

The General Meeting of Shareholders approves the Report on the remuneration of the members of the company's management and supervisory bodies in 2023.

Explanation of the proposed resolution:

Pursuant to Article 282 of the Companies Act (ZGD-1), the supervisory board is obliged to review the annual report and the proposal for appropriation of distributable profit as submitted by the company's management board. The supervisory board shall draw up a written report on its findings for the general meeting, explaining how and to what extent it has examined the management of the company during the financial year. In its report, the supervisory board shall also take a position on the auditor's report accompanying the annual report. At the end of its report, the supervisory board shall state whether it has any comments to make on the annual report following the final verification and whether it approves the annual report.

The supervisory board also took note of and considered the audit report in which the audit firm BDO Revizija d.o.o. concluded that the financial statements included in the annual report give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company and of the Group, of their financial performance and financial results, and of the changes in their equity.

The supervisory board, after final verification of the annual report of the Luka Koper Group and Luka Koper, d.d. for 2023, had no objections and approved the annual report in accordance with Article 282 of the Companies Act.

Pursuant to Article 294b of the Companies Act, a company whose securities are traded on a regulated market must prepare a clear and comprehensible remuneration report containing a comprehensive overview of the remuneration, including all benefits in whatever form, provided or due by the company to each member of the management and supervisory body in the last financial year in accordance with the remuneration policy. Accordingly, the Company has prepared a Remuneration Report containing a comprehensive overview of the remuneration, including all benefits in whatever form, provided or due by the Company to each member of the management and supervisory body during the last financial year in accordance with the remuneration policy. The Remuneration Report has been audited by BDO Revizija d.o.o., the auditor's report is attached to the Remuneration Report.

The general meeting of shareholders has the right to a consultative vote on the Remuneration Report for the last financial year. The Remuneration Report shall be published by the Company promptly after the vote at the general meeting on the Company's website, where it shall remain free of charge and publicly accessible for at least ten years.

Item 3 Appropriation of distributable profit of the financial year 2023 and granting of discharge to the management and supervisory bodies

3.1. The proposed resolution on appropriation of distributable profit:

A part of distributable profit amounting as at 31 December 2023 to EUR 43,878,553.17 is allocated as follows: the amount of EUR 28,000,000.00 is allocated for the paying out of dividends in the gross amount of EUR 2.00 (two euros) per ordinary share; the remaining portion of distributable profit totalling EUR 15,878,553.17 remains undistributed.

The Company shall pay out dividends on 30 August 2024 to all shareholders entered as holders of the shares in the Central Book-Entry Securities Register with the KDD as of the end of 29 August 2024.

3.2. The proposed resolution on granting of discharge to the management board:

The General Meeting of Shareholders grants discharge to the Management Board for the financial year 2023.

3.3. The proposed resolution on granting of discharge to the supervisory board:

The General Meeting of Shareholders grants discharge to the Supervisory Board for the financial year 2023.

Explanation of the proposed resolution:

Pursuant to Article 294 of the Companies Act (ZGD-1), the general meeting decides on the appropriation of distributable profit at the same time as it decides on the discharge of the members of the management board and the supervisory board.

In 2023, Luka Koper d.d. generated a net profit of EUR 54,450,022.34. On the proposal of the management board and in accordance with Article 230(3) of the Companies Act (ZGD-1), the Company allocated half of the net profit for the year 2023, i.e. EUR 27,225,011.17 to other profit reserves. The Company states that in 2023 the distributable profit amounted to EUR 43,878,553.17.

(in EUR) 2023 2022
Net profit for the year 54,450,022.34 73,266,226.59
Net profit carried forward 16,653,542.00 13,596,750.66
Increase in other reserves from profit -27,225,011.17 -36,633,113.29
Total distributable profit 43,878,553.17 50,229,863.96

The management board proposes to the general meeting the following appropriation of the distributable profit which as at 31 December 2023 amounted to EUR 43,878,553.17:

  • a part of distributable profit amounting to EUR 28,000,000.00 shall be allocated for the paying out of dividends in the gross amount of EUR 2.00 (two euros) per ordinary share,
  • the remaining portion of distributable profit totalling EUR 15,878,553.17 shall remain undistributed.

The dividend policy of Luka Koper, d.d. combines in a balanced way the expectations of the shareholders for reasonable dividend yields and the Company's aspiration to use the distributable profit to finance its development and sustainability plans and thus to ensure a successful and stable business in the long term. The current dividend policy, adopted and publicly announced in August 2023, foresees that the Management Board and the Supervisory Board shall normally propose that up

to 50 per cent of the Company's annual net profit be allocated to the payment of dividends. The proposed dividend payment of EUR 28,000,000.00 represents 51.42% of the net profit for 2023.

Article 294(1) of the Companies Act (ZGD-1) provides that simultaneously with the decision on appropriation of distributable profit, the General Meeting shall also adopt a decision on granting a discharge. The resolution proposal on the granting of discharge suggests to confirm and approve the work of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board in the financial year 2023. In accordance with the recommendation of the Slovenian Corporate Governance Code, this proposal will be put to a separate vote for the Management Board and the Supervisory Board. If shareholders wish to have the discharge of individual members of the Management Board or Supervisory Board decided separately, the General Meeting may vote separately if so decided by a special resolution or if so requested by shareholders whose aggregate holdings amount to one tenth of the share capital. The proposals provide for the usual corporate practice according to which discharge is granted only to active and not to former members of both bodies.

The provision of Article 51, paragraph 3 of the existing Articles of Association shall be deleted.

Taking into account the changes and amendments to the Company's Articles of Association, a consolidated text of the Articles of Association shall be drawn up.

Explanation of the proposed resolution:

The Company is constantly striving to harmonise its Articles of Association in order to ensure the efficiency of the Company's operations and compliance with applicable law. The changes and amendments to the Articles of Association as resulting from the proposal include the amendment of the so far existing Article 20 which becomes the provision of Article 21 of the amended Articles of Association, and the amendment of the so far existing Article 33 which becomes the provision of Article 34 of the amended Articles of Association.

In the case of Article 21 of the Articles of Association, it simplifies the Supervisory Board's granting of approval with regard to the legal transactions entered into by the Management Board to the extent that they are not part of the business plan, or to the extent that they are part of the business plan but increase in value by 20% or more. In this respect, the value of legal transactions for disposals of

companies, equity investments in companies and fixed assets has been increased to EUR 1,000,000.00. It was estimated that the existing limit of EUR 400,000.00 was set too low, which required the Management Board to seek the Supervisory Board's approval for a significant number of legal transactions. The caps, which were rather complicated to calculate, are also being abolished.

In the case of Article 34, the change refers to the competence to decide on the non-compete obligation of the members of the management board. The previous Article 34, paragraph 3 provided that for two years after leaving office, members of the Management Board may not participate as members of the management board, the supervisory board or as proxies, nor as employees or founders in any other company or as entrepreneurs in an activity which is or may be in competition with the activity of the public limited liability company (Plc.). The new policy delegates to the supervisory board, with respect to the members of the management board, the decision whether an individual member of the management board will be required to comply with the non-compete obligation for a maximum period of two years after the termination of his/her office. It is also within the supervisory board's power to relieve an individual member of the management board of compliance with a non-compete obligation upon termination of his/her duties, even if this has been previously agreed with the same member of the management board. This follows modern trends in corporate governance. In reviewing the articles of association of comparable public limited companies, it was not noted that they contained a provision prohibiting members of the supervisory board, the management board and proxies from engaging in competitive activities in advance.

The other changes and amendments to the Articles of Association do not represent major substantive changes and some of them are of a highly technical nature. This mainly refers to the changes relating to the renumbering of articles, since amendments to the Articles of Association have previously been made by adding letters to the article numbers instead of renumbering them, and there would be more letters included if the articles were not renumbered now. Renumbering thus contributes to greater clarity and transparency. The other substantive changes were mainly changes introduced in line with best practices observed in the articles of association of comparable public limited companies. Among the substantive changes, it is worth mentioning the protection of trade secret which from now on applies to all bodies and employees of the Company, as well as third parties who come into contact with information relating to trade secret. In previous Articles of Association, the protection of trade secret applied only to the members of the Supervisory Board, which was too narrow to ensure effective protection of trade secret within the Company.

    1. In addition to the above, members of the Supervisory Board shall also be entitled to an additional payment for special tasks. Special tasks of a member of the Supervisory Board are those which involve the actual performance of unusual tasks of above-average complexity over a prolonged period of time, normally lasting at least one month. The Supervisory Board is hereby authorised to decide, with the consent of each member of the Supervisory Board, on the assignment of special tasks to each member of the Supervisory Board, the duration of the special tasks and the additional payment for special tasks in accordance with this resolution of the General Meeting. The Supervisory Board is hereby authorised to decide on additional payments for special tasks of Supervisory Board members due to the objective circumstances of the Company. Additional payments for special tasks shall be permissible only for the period during which the special tasks are actually performed, which the Supervisory Board may exceptionally decide on retrospectively (in particular in the case of special tasks due to the Company's objective circumstances), but no longer than for the preceding financial year. The additional payments for special tasks may amount to a maximum of 50% of the basic remuneration for the performance of the Supervisory Board member's duties in any one year for each Supervisory Board member in total (irrespective of the number of special tasks). For each special task, the additional payment shall be determined by considering the complexity of the task and the resulting increased workload and responsibility. The additional payments shall always be pro-rated accordingly to the period of actual performance of the specific task.
    1. The members of the Supervisory Board shall receive their basic remuneration, an additional payment for the performance of their duties and an additional payment for special tasks in proportionate monthly payments to which they are entitled for as long as they hold office and/or perform the special task(s). The monthly remuneration shall be one-twelfth of the above annual amounts. The additional payment for special tasks may, depending on the circumstances, also be paid in a single lump sum after the special tasks have been carried out.
    1. The limitation of the total amounts of attendance fees or additional payments payable to a member of the Supervisory Board shall in no way affect the member's duty to actively participate in all meetings of the Supervisory Board and Supervisory Board Committees of which he/she is a member, and to exercise his/her statutory responsibility.
    1. Members of the Supervisory Board shall be entitled to reimbursement of travel and accommodation expenses incurred in connection with their work on the Supervisory Board up to the amount laid down in the Rules governing the reimbursement of expenses relating to work and other income not included in the tax base (provisions applicable to travel expenses and accommodation expenses on business trips). The amount due to a member of the Supervisory Board under the above-mentioned provision shall be expressed in a gross amount, so that the net payment represents reimbursement of the actual travel expenses incurred. For the purpose of determining mileage, the distances between places calculated on the public website of the AMZS shall be taken into account. Accommodation expenses may be reimbursed only if the distance between the permanent or temporary residence of a member of the Supervisory Board or of a member of a Supervisory Board Committee and the place of work of the Supervisory Board is at least 100 kilometres, if he/she was unable to return because the timetable no longer foresaw a journey by public transport, or for other objective reasons.
    1. This Resolution shall enter into force and apply from the date of its adoption at the General Meeting. It cancels Resolution no. 3 adopted by the General Meeting on 28 December 2017.

Explanation of the proposed resolution:

At the 29th General Meeting of Shareholders of Luka Koper, d.d. held on 28 December 2017, the shareholders adopted a resolution setting the amount of the attendance fees of the members of the Supervisory Board and the members of the Supervisory Board Committees, as well as the

remuneration for the performance of the functions of the members of the Supervisory Board and the members of the Supervisory Board Committees. The determination of the amount of the attendance fees of the members of the Supervisory Board and the members of the Supervisory Board Committees and the remuneration for the performance of the functions of the members of the Supervisory Board was based on the Code of Corporate Governance of State-owned Enterprises (SDH) adopted in May 2017. The same remuneration for the members of the Supervisory Board as determined by resolution at the 29th General Meeting of Shareholders on 28 December 2017 was included in the Remuneration Policy for the members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board of Luka Koper, d.d. which was approved at the 34th General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company on 28 June 2021.

In May 2023, Slovenian Sovereign Holding (SDH) adopted new Recommendations and Expectations of the Slovenian Sovereign Holding (the "Recommendations"), which introduced changes with respect to the criteria for determining the remuneration of the Supervisory Board that were in force compared to the previous documents of SDH. In accordance with the provisions of the Recommendations, Luka Koper, d.d. is a large company with a sound financial situation whose shares are listed on a regulated market. In the case of companies such as Luka Koper the Recommendations suggest a basic remuneration for the members of the Supervisory Board of up to EUR 21,000.00 gross per annum for the performance of their duties. Taking into account the criteria defined by the Recommendations for companies such as Luka Koper and the complexity of the exercise of control therein, a basic remuneration for the performance of the functions of a member of the Supervisory Board of EUR 21,000.00 gross per annum is proposed. For large companies, the recommended amount of the attendance fee is EUR 360 gross, and this is also proposed for the members of the Supervisory Board of Luka Koper. In accordance with the Recommendations, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board is entitled to a supplement of 50% of the basic remuneration for the performance of the duties of a member of the Supervisory Board, and the Vice-Chairman/Deputy Chairman up to 10% of the basic remuneration for the performance of the duties of a member of the Supervisory Board. For the members of the Supervisory Board Committees, the remuneration is proposed as set out in the Recommendations, i.e. 25% of the basic remuneration of a member of the Supervisory Board, and 37.5% for the Chairperson of the Committee, but the total amount of each member's remuneration for work in the Supervisory Board Committees cannot exceed 50% of the basic remuneration for the performance of the duties of a member of the Supervisory Board on an annual basis.

Members of the Supervisory Board are entitled to reimbursement of transport and accommodation expenses incurred in connection with their work on the Supervisory Board up to the amount laid down in the rules governing the reimbursement of expenses relating to work and other income not included in the tax base (provisions applicable to transport and accommodation on business trip). The amount due to a member of the Supervisory Board under the above-mentioned provision shall be adjusted so that the net payment represents reimbursement of actual travel expenses.

With the approval of the remuneration policy for the Management Board and the Supervisory Board, the previous resolution No. 3 adopted by the General Meeting of the Company at its 29th meeting of 28 December 2017, which set out the remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board and its committees, ceases to have effect. This Resolution of the General Meeting of the Company has been incorporated directly and without amendment into the Remuneration Policy for the members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board, which was approved at the 34th General Meeting of the Company.

Item 6 Presentation of the Company's Works Council resolution on the election of workers' representatives to the Supervisory Board

The proposed resolution:

The General Meeting takes note of the resolution of the Works Council of Luka Koper, d.d. of 20 December 2023, which states that the Works Council elected Mehrudin Vuković as the workers' representative on the Supervisory Board for a period of four (4) years, from 19 January 2024 onwards.

Explanation of the proposed resolution:

Pursuant to Article 16 of the Articles of Association of the joint stock company Luka Koper, d.d. of 29 June 2021, the Supervisory Board of the Company is composed of 9 members, three of whom, as representatives of the Company's employees, are elected by the Company's Works Council for a period of 4 years (and the Works Council has the power to dismiss them). Pursuant to Article 79 of the "Worker Participation in Management Act" and in accordance with the "Rules of Procedure regulating the Work of the Works Council of Luka Koper d.d.", the Works Council, at its 27th ordinary meeting held on 20 December 2023, adopted a resolution electing Mehrudin Vuković as the workers' representative on the Supervisory Board of Luka Koper d.d. for a period of four (4) years as from 19 January 2024. Considering that the Works Council only submitted the notification of the appointment of the workers' representative on the Supervisory Board after the 37th General Meeting had been convened, the General Meeting did not take note of the appointment at the 37th General Meeting.
