3) Method of exercising voting rights by a proxy, including in particular the forms used when a proxy votes and the method of notifying the Company by means of electronic communication of appointing a proxy.

The Shareholders has the right to participate in the General Meeting and exercise their voting right in person or by a proxy. The Shareholder's Proxy exercises all the Shareholder's rights unless the power-of-attorney stipulates otherwise. The proxy may grant further powers-of-attorney if such right arises from the original power-of-attorney.

One proxy may represent more than one Shareholder. In such case the proxy may vote differently from the shares of different Shareholders. If a Shareholder holds shares deposited in more than one securities account, such shareholder may appoint:

  • a) separate proxies to exercise the rights attached to the shares deposited in each such account,
  • b) one single proxy to exercise the rights attached to the shares deposited in each such account.

A power-of-attorney to participate in the General Meeting and exercise the voting right must be granted in writing or electronically. Such power-of-attorney granted electronically does not have to be signed with a secure electronic signature verifiable with a valid qualified certificate.

To identify the Shareholder granting a power-of-attorney and the Proxy representing him/her, the following should be attached to the document confirming the granting of the power-of-attorney:

  • a) in the case of a Shareholder who is a natural person copy of the personal ID, pages of the passport enabling his/her identification, or other official identification document confirming the Shareholder's identity;
  • b) in the case of a Shareholder who is not a natural person a copy of an excerpt from a pertinent register or downloaded individually computer printout of current information about the entity entered in the National Court Register referred to in Article 4 Section 4aa of the National Court Register Act of 20 August 1997 (consolidated version of 10 March 2017, Journal of Laws of 2017, item 700, as amended) or other document confirming the existence of such a Shareholder and the right of his/her representative or representatives to represent it, together with copies of the personal ID, pages of the passport enabling his/her identification of the holder, or other official identification document confirming the identity of the representative or representatives authorized to represent the Shareholder;
  • c) in the case of a Proxy who is a natural person copy of the personal ID, pages of the passport enabling his/her identification, or other official identification document confirming the Proxy's identity;
  • d) in the case of a Proxy who is not a natural person a copy of an excerpt from a pertinent register or downloaded individually computer printout of current information about the entity entered in the National Court Register referred to in Article 4 Section 4aa of the National Court Register Act of 20 August 1997 (consolidated version of 10 March 2017, Journal of Laws of 2017, item 700, as amended) or other document confirming the existence of such a Proxy and the right of his/her representative or representatives to represent it, together with copies of the personal ID, pages of the passport enabling his/her identification of the holder, or other official identification document confirming the identity of the representative or representatives authorized to represent the Proxy.

In the case of foreign entities domiciled in countries that do not keep pertinent registers, instead of a copy of a current excerpt from the register referred to in items b and d above, a copy of a document confirming the existence of the given entity and the right of its representative or representatives to represent it should be attached.

In case of doubt as to the authenticity of the aforementioned copies of the documents, the Company or the person appointed to register Shareholders may demand, before commencement of the General Meeting, presentation of the originals of such documents or their official copies confirmed as compliant with the original by a notary, legal counsel or by another entity authorized to confirm documents as compliant with their originals. In the event of failure to present such documents, a Shareholder's Proxy may be denied participation in the General Meeting.

All of the aforementioned documents prepared in a foreign language should be accompanied by an appropriate certified translation into Polish prepared by a sworn translator.

If the power-of-attorney to participate and exercise voting rights in the General Meeting granted by a Shareholder has been granted by the Shareholder under a condition or subject to a deadline, evidence should be attached that the given condition has been satisfied or the given event has occurred, if the deadline starts to run from such event.

The fact of granting a power-of-attorney should be notified to the Company using means of electronic communication no later than by 12 February 2018 by 9:00 a.m. The notice should be sent by electronic mail to the Company's e-mail address: [email protected].

The notice should be accompanied by a scan of the power-of-attorney or power-ofattorney in electronic form and a scan of the documents referred to in items a, b, c and d above, respectively.

The notice should also state the electronic mail address using which the Company will be able to contact the Shareholder and the Proxy.

The Management Board has the right to verify the notices submitted and to take actions to identify the Shareholder and the Proxy and to confirm their due empowerment. The verification may involve in particular a return request, by electronic mail or by telephone, to the Shareholder or Proxy. The same principles will apply accordingly to modify or revoke the extended power-of-attorney.

The notices that do not satisfy the aforementioned requirements will not have any legal effects for the Company. The Company is not liable for errors in completion of the power-of-attorney form and actions of the persons using the powers-of-attorney. A Proxy appearing at the General Meeting is obligated to present, at the demand of the Company or person (persons) appointed to register Shareholders, originals of the aforementioned documents attached to the notice.

In addition, the Company's Management Board advises that if a Shareholder grants a power-of-attorney with voting instructions, the Company will not verify whether proxies exercise their voting rights in accordance with the instructions received from the Shareholders.

Consequently, the voting instruction should be provided only to the proxy.

Management Board members and Company employees may act as Shareholders' proxies at the General Meeting.

If a member of the Management Board, Supervisory Board, liquidator, Company employee or member of a corporate body or employee of the Company's subsidiary or cooperative acts as a proxy, then the proxy document may authorize that person to represent the Shareholder only at a single General Meeting. A Proxy is obligated to disclose to the Shareholder any circumstances indicating the existence or the possibility of a conflict of interest and in addition is obligated to vote in accordance with the instructions given by the Shareholder. No further powers of attorney may be granted.

4) Information about alternative forms of participation in the General Meeting, taking the floor and exercise of the voting right.

The Company's Articles of Association do not provide for the possibility of participating, speaking and exercising voting rights in the General Meeting using the means of electronic communication.

General Meetings shall be broadcast live on the Internet to the public network and will be recorded and made public on the website www.grupa.energa.pl. Information about the broadcast will be placed on the Company's website not later than 7 days before the date of the General Meeting.

5) Provisions of the Company's Articles of Association pertaining to restriction of the voting right and the Shareholder's obligations in this respect.

Pursuant to § 27 of the Company's Articles of Association:

    1. Subject to section 6, the voting rights of shareholders and the voting rights of a usufructuary or a pledgee are restricted in such manner that no such person may exercise at the Company's General Meeting more than 10% of the total number of votes existing in the Company as at the day of holding the General Meeting.
    1. The provisions of sections 1 and 3 are without prejudice to the requirements pertaining to the acquisition of significant equity stakes in accordance with the provisions of the Act of 29 July 2005 on Public Offering and the Terms and Conditions for Introducing Financial Instruments to an Organized Trading System and on Public Companies. In a situation of determining the obligations of entities acquiring or intending to acquire significant blocks of shares, the provisions of item 1 and item 3 do not apply.
    1. For the purposes of restricting the voting right, the votes of shareholders interconnected by a parent or subsidiary relationship within the meaning of:
  • 1) the provisions of the Commercial Company Code, or

in such a way that the number of votes of such shareholders is added.

    1. If, as a result of such cumulative treatment, a reduction in votes is required in accordance with the provisions of section 1 above, it shall be effected by a pro rata reduction in the number of votes of all the shareholders involved in the relationship referred to in section 3 by rounding down or up the fractional votes of the shareholder in possession of the largest stake. If it is not possible to round up or down because two or more shareholders hold the same number of votes, the Management Board will randomly select the shareholder whose votes will be rounded up or down. The reduction cannot lead to depriving the shareholder of all its voting rights.
    1. Each shareholder concerned is obliged to notify the Management Board or the Chairperson of the General Meeting of the existence of the grounds referred to in items 1 and 3 if such shareholder intends to participate in the General Meeting. The provisions of items 1-5 do not apply to shareholders who on the date of adoption of the General Meeting resolution introducing the restrictions referred to in the foregoing sections (also if such restrictions are amended), i.e. on 22 August 2012, were entitled under shares representing more than 10% of the total number of votes at the General Meeting or shareholders acting in concert with them under agreements relating to the joint exercise of voting rights.
    1. A person who has failed to exercise or has improperly executed the reporting duty referred to in item 5 above may, until the performance of such reporting duty, exercise the voting right only on one share; exercise of the voting right by such person on the remaining shares shall be ineffective.
