to reduce the number ofshares of the Company without nominal value from 52 500 000 shares to 1 875 000 shares without altering the share capital of the Company, by replacing proportionally 52 500 000 shares without nominal value with a book value of0.55 euros per share with 1 875 000 new shares withoutnominal value with a book value of 15.40 euros per share.

  • 2.2. The execution of these resolutions is vested in the Company's Management Board. The Management Board is authorised and obliged to file any documents and take any and all legal actions, including actions notmentioned in these resolutions, which directly or indirectly led to fulfilling provisions of these resolutions. In particular, the Management Board is authorized and obliged to carry out the reduction of the number ofshares of the Company without nominal value as follows: twenty-eight (28) Company's shares without nominal value with a book value of EUR 0.55 pershare will be replaced by one share without nominal value with a book value of EUR 15.40 per share.

  • 2.4. Possible shortages will be covered at the expense of the rights held by Patro Invest OÜ, a limited liability company duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of Estonia, Estonian registry code 14381342, seat Tornimäe tn 5, 10145 Tallinn, Estonia. Patro Invest OÜ is a shareholder who renounced the securities rights for free on the account of the shareholders having shortages but only to the extent necessary to cover the shortage and to allow the shareholders to receive one (1) share with the new book value ofEUR 15.40. Patro Invest OÜ will cover the shortage on condition that the extraordinary general meeting passes these resolutions on reduction of the number of shares of the Company without nominal value on given terms, amending the articles of association of the Company, its registration by the Estonian Commercial Register and indication by the Management Board the Reference Date, and also with effect on the date when (1) Nasdaq CSD Branch in Estonia and (2) Central Securities Depository of Poland (Krajowy Depozyt Papierów Wartościowych S.A. or KDPW) carry out the procedures necessary to effectuate the reduction of the number of shares of the Company without nominal value.
