(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


PETROL, Slovenska energetska družba, d.d., Ljubljana Dunajska c. 50, 1000 Ljubljana tel .: 01 47 14 234 www.petrol.si
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 - ZlntPK-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.

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.

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 General Meeting.

PETROL, Slovenska energetska družba, d.d., Ljubljana Dunajska c. 50, 1000 Ljubljana tel .: 01 47 14 234 www.petrol.si
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 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 mufandis 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.
The shareholders are kindly asked to register at the reception office one hour prior to the commencement of the meeting, in order to confirm their attendance by affixing their signatures to the list of shareholders and to collect the voting papers.
The General Meeting will commence at 12:00. Should a quorum not be present, the General Meeting will be adjourned and resumed at 14:00 on the same day and the same premises, regardless of the share capital represented.

PETROL, Slovenska energetska družba, d.d., Ljubljana Dunajska c. 50, 1000 Ljubljana tel .: 01 47 14 234 www.petrol.si
Resolution proposal:
2.1.
The General Meeting hereby removes Aleksander Zupančič from the function of a Member of the Supervisory Board of Petrol, d.d., effective from 23 January 2023.
22
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 third paragraph of Article 21 of the ZSDH-1 (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, Nos. 25/14 and 140/22) sets out that the candidates for members of supervisory boards of companies with a financial asset of the state shall meet the criteria determined by the act regulating companies and the ZSDH-1. Furthermore, in the fourth bullet of the third paragraph of Article 21, the ZSDH-1 determines that the SSH shall not vote for candidates for membership of supervisory boards who are already members of a management or supervisory body in a company in which the SSH has a majority stake or prevailing influence.
In accordance with the new seventh paragraph of the same Article (amended ZSDH-1A, November 2022), the SSH shall reqularly check that the criteria for members of supervisory boards of companies with a financial asset of the state referred to in the second, third and fourth paragraphs of Article 21 are met and, in case the criteria are not met, it shall immediately initiate procedures for the removal of the relevant supervisory board member. This means that members of supervisory boards of companies with a financial asset of the state must meet the indicated criteria throughout their term of office, not only at the time of their appointment to the function.
By taking into account the new legal requirement, the SSH has checked whether the members of the Supervisory Board of Petrol d. d. meet the legal criteria. The review showed that the President of the Supervisory Board of Petrol, d. d., Dr. Janez Žlak, and the Member of the Supervisory Board Aleksander Zupančič do not meet the criteria referred to in the fourth bullet of the third paragraph of Article 21 of the ZSDH-1 because they are already members of the management bodies in companies where the SSH has a majority stake or prevailing interest. Dr. Janez Žlak is a liquidator at RTH d. o. o. - in liquidation, and Aleksander Zupančič is the President of the Management Board of Elektro Ljubljana, d.d.
On 28 November 2022. Dr. Janez Žlak provided a letter of resignation from the position of a liguidator at RTH d. o. o. - in liguidation, which will have resolved his position in terms of the new legislative requirements, whereas Aleksander Zupančič still performs both functions.
Given that Aleksander Zupančič does not meet the criteria referred to in the third paragraph of Article 21 of the ZSDH-1, the SSH is obliged to initiate procedures for his removal (the seventh paragraph of Article 21).
The notice on convening the General Meeting, which will be held on 27 December 2022 (at the request of Vizija holding d. o. o. and Vizija holding ena d. o. o.), does not include an item on the agenda under which removal would be decided; therefore, the SSH is issuing a request to expand


PETROL, Slovenska energetska družba, d.d., Ljubljana Dunaiska c. 50. 1000 Liubliana tel .: 01 47 14 234 www.petrol.si
(supplement) the General Meeting agenda pursuant to the provision of Article 298 of the ZGD-1, as presented herein.
In order to ensure the smooth continuation of the Supervisory Board's work, the General Meeting should appoint a substitute member of the Supervisory Board at the same time when removing the relevant member of the Supervisory Board. To this end, the SSH proposes that, under the same item, Rok Ponikvar be elected by the General Meeting as a substitute member for a term of office from 28 December 2022 to 11 April 2025.
Rok Ponikvar holds a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Ljubljana. He is General Manager of Slorest d. o. o. and has experience in managing large systems in the fields of procurement, logistics and sales. Previously, he held various top management and management positions. He was a Management Board Member at Merkur d. d., Purchasing Director, Sales Director, Logistics Director, HR Director, and Purchasing and Logistics Director at Big Bang d. o. o. (the Merkur Group) in the period from 2007 to 2010.
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 to the agenda published in the notice convening the 35th General Meeting on 24 November 2022. item 5 "Removal and election of a substitute member of the Supervisory Board of Petrol d.d., Ljubljana" with the proposed resolution: 2.1 The General Meeting hereby removes Aleksander Zupančič from the function of a Member of the Supervisory Board of Petrol, d.d., effective from 27 December 2022.
2.2. The General Meeting has appointed Rok Ponikvar as Supervisory Board Member to represent the interests of shareholders in the period from 28 December 2022 to 11 April 2025.
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.


PETROL, Slovenska energetska družba, d.d., Ljubljana Dunajska c. 50, 1000 Ljubljana tel.: 01 47 14 234 www.petrol.si
Resolution under item 2.1. requires a three-quarter majority of the votes present at a General Meeting.
Resolution under item 2.2. is adopted by a majority of the votes cast.
The resolution is proposed by the shareholders SDH d.d. (SSH) and the Republic of Slovenia.

SLOVENIAN SOVEREIGN HOLDING
MALA ULICA 5, PO BOX 139 1001 LJUBLJANA SLOVENIA
Pursuant to Article 19 of the Slovenian Sovereign Holding Act ("ZSDH-1") and the Slovenian Companies Act ("ZGD-1") and in relation to the notice on convening the 35th General Meeting of Shareholders of Petrol d.d., which will be held on 27 December 2022 at 12:00 on Dunajska cesta 48, Ljubljana, the Slovenian Sovereign Holding ("SSH") on its own behalf and on behalf and for the account of the Republic of Slovenia hereby issues the following
of the 35th General Meeting of Shareholders of Petrol d.d.
-(Meeting the criterion referred to in the first paragraph of Article 298 of the ZGD-1)
The Republic of Slovenia holds 4,513,980 shares, accounting for 10.818% of the share capital of PETROL, d.d. Pursuant to Articles 18 and 19 of the ZSDH-1, the Republic of Slovenia is represented, on its behalf and for its account, by the SSH.
The SSH holds 5,290,320 shares, accounting for 12.679% of the company's share capital.
The amount of the stakes represented by the SSH serves as the basis for SSH's legal interest to file a request to supplement the agenda.
- (The subject of the request to supplement the agenda)
The SSH requests that the agenda of the 35th General Meeting be supplemented by an additional item, by adding a new item 5 after the current item 4 of the agenda. Item 5 shall read:
Resolution proposal:
5.1. The General Meeting hereby removes Aleksander Zupančič from the function of a Member of the Supervisory Board of Petrol, d.d., effective from 27 December 2022.
5.2. The General Meeting hereby appoints Rok Ponikvar as Supervisory Board Member to represent the interests of shareholders in the period from 28 December 2022 to 11 April.
The third paragraph of Article 21 of the ZSDH-1 (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, Nos, 25/14 and 140/22) sets out that the candidates for members of supervisory boards of companies with a financial asset of the state shall meet the criteria determined by the act regulating companies and the ZSDH-1. Furthermore, in the fourth bullet of the third paragraph of Article 21, the ZSDH-1 determines that the SSH shall not vote for candidates for membership of supervisory boards who are already members of a management or supervisory body in a company in which the SSH has a majority stake or prevailing influence.
In accordance with the new seventh paragraph of the same Article (amended ZSDH-1A, November 2022), the SSH shall regularly check that the criteria for members of supervisory boards of companies with a financial asset of the state referred to in the second, third and fourth paragraphs of Article 21 are met and, in case the criteria are not met, it shall immediately initiate procedures for the relevant supervisory board member. This means that members of supervisory boards of companies with a financial asset of the state must meet the indicated criteria throughout their term of office, not only at the time of their appointment to the function.
By taking into account the new legal requirement, the SSH has checked whether the members of the Supervisory Board of Petrol d. d. meet the legal criteria. The review showed that the President of the Supervisory Board of Petrol, d. d., Dr. Janez Żlak, and the Member of the Supervisory Board Aleksander Zupančič do not meet the criteria referred to in the fourth bullet of the third paragraph of Article 21 of the ZSDH-1 because they are already members of the management bodies in companies where the SSH has a majority stake or prevailing interest. Dr. Janez Žlak is a liguidator at RTH d. o. o. - in liquidation, and Aleksander Zupančič is the President of the Management Board of Elektro Ljubljana, d. d.
On 28 November 2022, Dr. Janez Zlak provided a letter of resignation from the position of a liguidator at RTH d. o. o. - in liguidation, which will have resolved his position in terms of the new legislative requirements, whereas Aleksander Zupančič still performs both functions.
Given that Aleksander Zupančič does not meet the criteria referred to in the third paragraph of Article 21 of the ZSDH-1, the SSH is obliged to initiate procedures for his removal (the seventh paragraph of Article 21).
The notice on convening the General Meeting, which will be held on 27 December 2022 (at the request of Vizija holding d. o. o. and Vizija holding ena d. o. o.), does not include an item on the agenda under which removal would be decided; therefore, the SSH is issuing a request to expand (supplement) the General Meeting agenda pursuant to the provision of Article 298 of the ZGD-1, as presented herein.
In order to ensure the smooth continuation of the Supervisory Board's work, the General Meeting should appoint a substitute member of the Supervisory Board at the same time when removing the relevant member of the Supervisory Board. To this end, the SSH proposes that, under the same item, Rok Ponikvar be elected by the General Meeting as a substitute member for a term of office from 28 December 2022 to 11 April 2025.
Rok Ponikvar holds a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Ljubljana. He is General Manager of Slorest d. o. and has experience in managing large systems in the fields of procurement, logistics and sales. Previously, he held various top management and management positions. He was a Management Board Member at Merkur d. d., Purchasing Director, Sales Director, Logistics Director, HR Director, and Purchasing and Logistics Director at Big Bang d. o. o. (the Merkur Group) in the period from 2007 to 2010.
The SSH calls upon the Management Board of Petrol, d. d. to comply with its request to supplement the General Meeting agenda and, pursuant to the third and fourth paragraphs of Article 298 of the ZGD-1, publish an additional agenda item to be discussed at the General Meeting on 27 December 2022. The Management Board shall publish a clean copy of the agenda the same as it has published the notice to convene the General Meeting.
