5. Methods of share repurchase

In accordance with the General Meeting's authorisation the Company may repurchase shares either through transactions on the organised financial instruments market or outside the organised financial instruments market.

5.1.1. Location and method of share repurchase

The Company shall repurchase shares on the organised market of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, Slovenska cesta 56, 1000 Ljubljana.

Share repurchase on the organised market shall be conducted through purchase orders, awarded to the selected stock exchange member, who is a member of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange (hereinafter: selected stock exchange member).

In the share repurchase process on the organised market the Company shall fully adhere to the provisions of the Companies Act (ZGD-1), Market in Financial Instruments Act (ZTFI-1), and the Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on market abuse (Market Abuse Regulation) and repealing Directive 2003/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Directives 2003/124/EC, 2003/125/EC and 2004/72/EC (hereinafter: MAR Directive).

5.2. Share repurchase through transactions outside the organised financial instruments market

During the share repurchase the Company shall strive to ensure that its transactions in no case give the market false or misleading signs regarding the demand, the offer or price of shares, and to not have a dominant position on the purchase side.
