Irrespective of the above, a shareholder's voting proposal does not have to be substantiated in accordance with the Companies Act, Article 301.

The right to attend the AGM and participate in voting applies to shareholders recorded in the central register of securities at KDD – Centralna klirinško depotna družba, d. o. o., Ljubljana at the end of the seventh day before the AGM is due to convene (record date), i.e. on 29 June 2023.
Shareholders may attend the AGM and participate in voting either in person or by proxy if they notify the Management Board of their presence in writing or at the Company's registered office no later than by the end of the fourth day before the AGM is due to convene. A written application for participation must arrive at the Company's registered office no later than by 2 July 2023. Proxies have to submit their proxy statements no later than at the registration for the AGM. The address for sending shareholder participation applications and proxy statements by mail is Krka, d. d., Novo mesto, Šmarješka cesta 6, 8000 Novo mesto, Slovenia, or by fax at +386 7 332 15 37. Complete participation applications sent in the standardised form through

Proxy statements must be submitted in writing and include general data (full name, address, personal ID number or company name, registered office and company ID number, and scope of representation) of the party granting the proxy and the party holding the proxy, and the signature of the party granting the proxy.
The proxy statement template is available on the Company website www.krka.si.
The Company reserves the right to verify the identity of each shareholder or the party that submits a proxy statement. If so requested, shareholders or their legal representatives or proxies must identify themselves at the AGM by presenting their ID and a written proxy statement, while legal representatives and proxies of legal entities must also present an extract from the register of companies.
If an intermediary who is not an ultimate shareholder is entered in the central register as the holder of rights, shareholders may exercise their voting right based on an evidence as per the Companies Act, Article 235 č, Paragraph 2, which stipulates who the ultimate shareholder is on the record date.
Intermediaries may only exercise or entrust the exercise of voting rights arising from shares they do not own if they have been granted a written proxy statement to do so. An intermediary saves the proxy statement so that its verifiability is guaranteed. A proxy statement may be granted to an individual intermediary and may be revoked at any time. An intermediary may grant proxy statements to persons who are not his employees only if this is explicitly permitted in the proxy statement. If an intermediary exercises a voting right on behalf of a shareholder based on a proxy statement, the document which includes such authorisation is submitted to and stored by the Company. An intermediary must ask a shareholder for instructions how to exercise the voting rights and notify him that if instructions are not given, the intermediary shall exercise them at his own discretion communicated to the shareholder, unless the intermediary presumed the shareholder would approve of a different decision if he knew the actual situation. The provisions of this paragraph apply reasonably also to fiduciary account holders with regard to shares they do not own, to voting advisers, and to other persons exercising a voting right on behalf of a shareholder based on a proxy statement as their activity.
Processing of personal data submitted upon the AGM registration or in proxy statements together with data from the shareholder register is mandatory for the organisation of the AGM. Krka, d. d., Novo mesto processes this data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and keeps the data in compliance with the statutory retention period for such data. External processors only receive the part of data required for technical support and organisation of the AGM. These external service providers process the data received solely in accordance with instructions of Krka, d. d., Novo mesto. The Company's policy on personal

data protection and the rights of individuals are available on the Company website (www.krka.biz).
In line with Item 8.2 of the Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies, the Company encourages all major shareholders, in particular institutional investors and the state, to publicly disclose investment policies relevant for the stakes they hold in the Company. The information may comprise, for example, the voting policy, the type and frequency of engagement in the Company's governance, and the dynamics of communication with the Company's management and supervisory bodies.
We would like to ask the participants to arrive an hour before the start of the AGM for registration purposes and collection of voting tools.
The Company informs shareholders that, in accordance with the valid legislation, it will arrange collection of proxy authorisations for exercising voting rights to enable them voting at the AGM also if not present in person.
