The General Meeting appoints Rok Ponikvar as Supervisory Board Member to represent the interests of shareholders in the period from 24 January 2023 to 11 April 2025.


The resolution under item 1 is proposed by the Management Board and the resolution under item 2 by the shareholders SDH d.d. (SSH) and the Republic of Slovenia, whose stakes account for one twentieth of the share capital, in their request to supplement the agenda of 30 November 2022 after the notice convening the 35th General Meeting.

On 30 November 2022, the Company received a request from the shareholders SDH d.d. (SSH) and the Republic of Slovenia to extend the agenda by adding item 5 "Removal and election of a substitute

member of the Supervisory Board of Petrol d.d., Ljubljana" to the agenda published in the notice convening the 35th General Meeting on 24 November 2022.

Due to an administrative error in the publishing of the request to supplement the agenda of the 35th General Meeting of Shareholders of Petrol d.d., Ljubljana, as a result of which the official publication was not made at the AJPES website, it will not be possible to discuss item 5 on the extended general meeting agenda (as published on 2 December 2022 at the websites of SEOnet and Petrol d.d., Ljubljana) at the 35th General Meeting of Shareholders of Petrol d.d., Ljubljana on 27 December 2022, in accordance with the provisions of the Slovenian Companies Act (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, Nos. 65/09 – official consolidated text, 33/11, 91/11, 32/12, 57/12, 44/13 – CC dec., 82/13, 55/15, 15/17, 22/19 – ZPosS, 158/20 – ZIntPK-C and 18/21; "ZGD-1").

Pursuant to Article 298 of the ZGD-1, an additional agenda item may be discussed at the general meeting only if it is published in the manner referred to in Article 296 of the ZGD-1, which includes publication at the AJPES website, otherwise it shall be discussed at the next general meeting.

With the aim to ensure that the relevant agenda item is discussed as soon as possible, the Management Board of the Company hereby convenes the 36th General Meeting of Shareholders of Petrol d.d., Ljubljana. Agenda item 2 is titled "Removal and election of a substitute member of the Supervisory Board of Petrol d.d., Ljubljana" and has the same content as that of item 5 on the extended agenda (as published on 2 December 2022 at the websites of SEOnet and Petrol d.d., Ljubljana) of the 35th General Meeting. The Company has prepared the proposed resolution by taking into account the notification received from the shareholders SDH d.d. (SSH) and the Republic of Slovenia on 22 December 2022, stating that they deem it is only correct and reasonable that, in formulating the notice convening the General Meeting and the agenda item, the Company applies new dates of the of General Meeting and other numbering, otherwise the proposed resolution would be inappropriate due to retroactivity which, according to both shareholders, is an administrative correction of the wording of the proposed resolution.

Pursuant to Article 304 of the Companies Act (ZGD-1), the 36th General Meeting of Shareholders of PETROL, Slovenska energetska družba, d.d., Ljubljana shall be attended by Bojan Podgoršek, Notary Public from Ljubljana.

Conditions applying to participation in the General Meeting and the exercise of voting rights

Only those shareholders who have registered, personally or through proxy, for the General Meeting and whose application has been received by the Management Board at least by the end of the fourth day prior to the General Meeting, that is, by 19 January 2023, inclusive, and who are registered in the Central Book-Entry Securities Register as of the end of the day on 16 January 2023 ("record date") shall be entitled to participate in the General Meeting and exercise their voting rights. If a broker who is not the ultimate beneficial owner is recorded in the Central Register as a shareholder, the shareholders can exercise their voting right based on proof referred to in the second paragraph of Article 235.č of the ZGD-1 showing who the ultimate beneficial owner is on the record date. The registration forms shall be sent by post to the following address: Petrol d.d., Ljubljana, Uprava družbe – za skupščino, Dunajska cesta 50, 1000 Ljubljana, so that the Management Board receives them not later than by the end of the fourth day prior to the General Meeting. Registrations sent through electronic media will not be valid. Only the registration forms containing original signatures of the shareholders and/or representatives or proxies will be deemed to be valid. The Company will also deem valid those registration forms which are received in the standard form via the Central Securities Clearing Corporation (KDD – Centralna klirinško depotna družba d.o.o.) and which are previously received by the Central Securities Clearing Corporation via the agent chain. The registration form is available on the company's website and can be obtained free of charge at the Company's headquarters in Ljubljana, Dunajska cesta 50 (information office) each workday from 10:00 to 13:00 from publishing the notice convening the General Meeting to the day of the General Meeting.

Each shareholder who is entitled to attend the General Meeting may authorise a proxy to register for participation on their behalf and to attend the General Meeting and exercise the shareholder's voting rights. Such authorisation shall be given in writing and submitted to the Company where it shall be kept. The forms for registration, participation and exercise of voting rights by proxy are available on the Company's website; they can also be obtained free of charge at the Company headquarters in Ljubljana, Dunajska cesta 50 (information office), each workday from 10:00 to 13:00 from publishing the notice to convene the General Meeting to the day of the General Meeting. If the original of the registration form containing the signature of shareholder has been sent, it is enough to email the scanned authorisation form as an attachment to [email protected]; the scanned authorisation form must contain the personal signature of a natural person, or, in the case of a legal entity, a personal signature of representative and a stamp/seal if used by such a legal entity. The Company is entitled to verify the identity of a shareholder or a person who submits the authorisation by e-mail, as well as the authenticity of their signatures. Shareholders are entitled to revoke the authorisation in the same manner as when submitting it, at any time before the day of the General Meeting.

A proxy may exercise or entrust the exercising of a voting right for shares that they do not hold only if they have been granted written proxy authorisation to do so. A proxy shall keep the authorisation so as to ensure that it can be verified. Authorisation may be issued to an individual proxy and be revoked at any time. A proxy is entitled to authorise persons not employed by them to exercise the proxy authorisation only if this is explicitly permitted in the authorisation. If based on authorisation a proxy exercises a voting right on behalf of a shareholder, the proxy authorisation document shall be submitted to the Company where it shall be kept. A proxy shall call upon the relevant shareholder to provide them with instructions for exercising the voting right and shall stress that their potential failure to provide instructions for exercising the voting right shall result in the voting right being exercised under such proxy's own proposals, which shall be notified to the shareholder, except if it can be presumed that the shareholder would approve of their different decision if they were aware of the

state of the facts. The same rules such as defined in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to fiduciary account holders in relation to shares that they do not hold, voting advisors and other persons exercising a voting right in the name of a shareholder on the basis of a proxy authorisation as their activity. Upon request, shareholders and/or their representatives or proxies must present a personal identity document and written authorisation; a legal representative must also present an extract from the Court Register of Companies or Business Register.
