Generally speaking, a shareholder may mandate only one proxy to represent him/her/it at the GSM. However, the special power of attorney may nominate other person(s) as substitutes empowered to represent the shareholder in case the said main proxy would be in impossibility to attend. The special power of attorney must provide the order under which the said substitutes vote in case the proxy does not attend the GSM.

Vote by representative holding a general power of attorney

In opposition with the special one, the general power of attorney allows the proxy to vote on behalf of the shareholder in any aspect on the agenda of one or more companies identified in the power of attorney, including disposal acts. The duration of this general mandate cannot exceed 3 years.

For the mandate's validity, the proxy must be either an intermediary (in accordance with Article 2 para. (1) point (14) of Law no. 297/2004) or an attorney at law for whom the shareholder is a client. Also, the proxy should not be in a conflict of interest situation, such as:

a) It is a majority shareholder of FP, or of another entity, controlled by that respective shareholder;

b) It is a member of an administration, management or supervisory body of FP, of a majority shareholder or of another entity, controlled by that respective shareholder;
c) Is an employee or auditor of FP or of a majority shareholder or of another entity, controlled by that respective shareholder;
d) Is a spouse or relative (up to, and including, fourth degree filiation) of one of the individuals mentioned above.

The proxy cannot be replaced by another person. If the proxy is a legal entity, then the latter may carry out the general mandate through any of member of its administration/management body or of one of its employees.

In view of the GSM, and before their first use, the general power of attorneys are to be sent to the Company's headquarters in Bucharest, 78-80 Buzeşti Street, 7th floor, 1st District, postal code 011017 so that it is received by the Company by 27 October 2016, 13:00 o'clock (Romanian time), in copy, certified as being the same with the original by the proxy. The said copies are retained by FP, and a mention of this is inserted in the minutes of the general shareholders' meeting.

Documents accompanying the general power of attorney:

a) proof that the proxy is an intermediary in accordance with Article 2 para. (1) point (14) of Law no. 297/2004 or an attorney at law, and that the shareholder is the proxy's client;
b) for natural person shareholders copy of the shareholder's identity card, allowing for identification thereof on the list of FP shareholders issued by Depozitarul Central SA and a copy of the identity card of the representative (identity document or identity card for Romanian citizens or passport for foreign citizens);
c) in case of collective natural person shareholders, by observing the provisions described by the Procedure regarding the organization and holding of General Meetings of Shareholders, available starting with 23 September 2016 on the Company's website (Special conditions regarding collective natural person shareholders);

the capacity of shareholder's legal representative shall be taken from the Shareholders' Registry issued by Depozitarul Central SA; however, if the shareholder did not inform timely Depozitarul Central SA of its legal representative (so that the shareholders' registry at the reference date reflect that), then the findings certificate/similar documents mentioned above must comprise the capacity of legal representative; for the Ministry of Public Finances the capacity of legal representative shall be proven by the appointment decree issued by the President of Romania – to this purpose, a copy of the Official Gazette in which the appointment decree was published or an excerpt of the law programme shall be provided; and
copy of the identity card of the representative (the proxy) (identity document or identity card for Romanian citizens or passport for foreign citizens).

Documents drafted in a foreign language (except for identity cards valid on the territory of Romania, in Latin characters) will be accompanied by their translation into Romanian or English, save for the documents attesting the legal representative capacity drafted in a foreign language other than English which shall be accompanied by their translation into Romanian or English performed by a certified translator. FP shall not request that the documents attesting the shareholder's legal representative capacity be legalized or apostilled.

The documents with respect to the quality of the shareholder above-mentioned will not be necessary, if the general power of attorney is signed by that respective shareholder, and the proxy (intermediary/attorney at law) issues a declaration confirming that:

a) the shareholder is a client of the proxy;
b) the general power of attorney is signed by that respective shareholder (ink signed or through an extended electronic signature, as the case may be).

The said declaration must be submitted in original at FP (in the same time with the general power of attorney and at the same coordinates as indicated in this convening notice) signed and stamped (if the case) by the intermediary/attorney at law (without other criteria being necessary as pertaining with its form).

The general power of attorney form shall be made available to the shareholders by the Company starting from 23 September 2016 at the same coordinates and under the same conditions as the information materials.

the capacity of shareholder's legal representative shall be taken from the Shareholders' Registry issued by Depozitarul Central SA at the Reference Date; however, if the shareholder did not inform in a timely manner Depozitarul Central SA of its legal representative (so that the shareholders' registry at the Reference Date reflect that), then the findings certificate/similar documents mentioned above must comprise the capacity of legal representative; for the Ministry of Public Finance the capacity of legal representative shall be proven by the appointment decree issued by the President of Romania – to this purpose, a copy of the Official Gazette in which the appointment decree was published or an excerpt of the law programme shall be provided.

Documents in a foreign language (except for identity cards valid on the territory of Romania, in Latin characters) will be accompanied by their translation into Romanian or English, save for the documents

attesting the legal representative drafted in a language other than English which shall be accompanied by their translation into Romanian or English performed by a certified translator. The Company shall not request that the documents attesting the legal representative capacity be notarised or apostilled.

The form of the vote by correspondence ballot:

a) shall be made available to the shareholders by the Company starting with 23 September 2016 at the same coordinates and under the same conditions as the information materials and the forms for the special powers of attorney;
b) shall be updated by the Company if new items are added to the EGM/OGM agenda and shall be published on the Company's website in its updated form.

If a shareholder voted by sending a ballot paper by correspondence, but then attends the EGM/OGM either personally or through a proxy (provided a special/general power of attorney has been submitted under the conditions above-mentioned), the correspondence vote shall be annulled and only the direct or the vote expressed through the proxy shall be taken into consideration. If the person representing the shareholder at the general shareholders' meeting is other than the person who expressed the correspondence vote, then for its validity, the proxy must present at the general meeting a written revocation of the correspondence vote, signed by the shareholder or by the representative who expressed the correspondence vote. This will not be applicable if the shareholder or its legal representative is present at the general meeting.

The general procedure for the organisation of general meetings (which shall be available at the same coordinates and in the same conditions as the information materials) details the procedure allowing both the vote by representative with special/general power of attorney and the vote by correspondence, and the shareholders must comply with the said procedure.

Special/General powers of attorney and ballots for voting by correspondence must be signed by all the natural person collective shareholders or their legal representatives (in the case of natural persons lacking exercise capacity or with limited exercise capacity), who shall assume both their capacity (proven by means of evidentiary documents attached to the special/general power of attorney/ballot) and the signature authenticity.

The checking and validation of the special/general powers of attorney submitted, as well as the centralization, checking, validation, and records of the votes by correspondence shall be performed by a commission established within the Company, whose members shall safely keep these documents, as well as the confidentiality of the votes thus expressed. Powers of attorney shall also be checked by the EGM/OGM secretary. In the event that the agenda is supplemented and the shareholders fail to send the updated special powers of attorney and/or ballots for voting by correspondence, the special powers of attorney and ballots sent prior to the supplementation of the agenda shall be considered only with reference to the items therein which are also found on the supplemented agenda. Additional information may be obtained from the Department for Shareholder Relations at the telephone number 021-200 96 28 and on the Company's website: www.fondulproprietatea.ro.
