Vote by representative holding a general power of attorney

The shareholder may grant a valid proxy for a period which shall not exceed 3 years, unless the parties have expressly provided for a longer periods.

For the mandate's validity, the proxy must be either an intermediary (in accordance with Article 2 para. (1) point (20) of Issuer's Law) 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 unless this right was expressly conferred to him/her by the shareholder in a power of attorney. 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.
