  • b) In the event that the issuance is convertible and exchangeable, the Board may also provide that the issuer reserves the right at any time to elect between conversion into new shares or the exchange thereof for outstanding shares of the Company, with the nature of the shares to be delivered being determined at the time of conversion or exchange, and may also elect to deliver a combination of newlyissued shares and existing shares of the Company and even to settle the difference in cash.
  • c) For purposes of the conversion and/or exchange, the securities shall be valued at the nominal amount thereof (including, should it be the case, accrued and not paid interests), and the shares at the fixed exchange ratio established in the resolution of the Board of Directors whereby this authorisation is exercised, or at a variable ratio to be determined on the date or dates specified in such resolution of the Board, based on the listing price of the Company's shares on the date(s) or during the period(s) used as a reference in such resolution, at a premium or at a discount, provided, however, that if a discount is established on the price per share, it shall not be greater than 25 per cent. of the value of the shares used as a reference value as set forth above.
  • d) In no event may the value of the share for purposes of the ratio for conversion of debentures into shares be less than the par value thereof. In addition, pursuant to the provisions of Article 415 of the Companies Law, debentures may not be converted into shares when the nominal value of the former is less than the par value of the latter.

6.- Basis and terms and conditions for the exercise of warrants.- In the case of issuances of warrants, to which the provisions of the Companies Law on convertible debentures shall apply by analogy, the Board of Directors is authorised to determine, in the broadest terms, in connection with the basis for and terms and conditions applicable to the exercise of such warrants, the criteria applicable to the exercise of rights to subscribe for or of rights to acquire shares of the Company arising from the securities of this kind issued under the delegation granted hereby. The criteria set forth in section 5 above shall apply to such issuances, with such adjustments as may be necessary in order to bring them into compliance with the legal and financial rules governing these kinds of securities.

7.- Other powers delegated.- This authorisation to the Board of Directors also includes, without limitation, the delegation thereto of the following powers:

a) The power to increase the share capital to the extent required to attend requests for conversion and/or for exercise of the right to subscribe for new shares. These power may only be exercised so long as the capital increase the Board of Directors approves for the issue of convertible securities or warrants does not exceed the unused limit authorised in each moment by the Shareholders' Meeting in accordance with Article 297.1.b) of the Companies Law. This authorisation to increase the share capital includes the authorisation to issue and float, on one or more occasions, the shares representing such capital that are necessary to carry out the conversion and/or to exercise the right to subscribe for new shares, as well as the power to amend the article of the bylaws relating to the amount of the share capital and the number of shares and, if appropriate, to cancel the portion of such capital increase that was not required for the conversion of shares and/or the exercise of the right to subscribe for new shares.

  • b) The power to elaborate on and specify the basis for and terms and conditions applicable to the conversion, exchange and/or exercise of the rights to subscribe for and/or acquire shares arising from the securities to be issued, taking into account the criteria set out in sections 5 and 6 above.
  • c) The delegation to the Board of Directors includes the broadest powers that may be required by law in order to interpret, apply, implement and develop the resolutions providing for the issuance of securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Company, on one or more occasions, and to carry out the corresponding capital increase, as well as the power to correct and supplement such resolutions as to all matters that may be necessary and to comply with all legal requirements for the successful implementation thereof. To such end, the Board of Directors may correct any omissions or defects in the aforementioned resolutions that may be identified by any Spanish or foreign authorities, officers or bodies, and may also adopt all such resolutions and execute all such public or private documents as it may deem necessary or appropriate in order to adjust the preceding resolutions for the issuance of convertible or exchangeable securities and the corresponding capital increase to the oral or written assessment of the commercial registrar or, in general, of any other Spanish or foreign competent authorities, officers or entities.

8.- Admission to trading.- The Company shall, where appropriate, apply for listing on regulated markets, multilateral trading systems or other secondary markets, organised or otherwise, official or unofficial, Spanish or foreign of the securities issued by the Company under this delegation, and the Board of Directors is authorised, as fully as is required by law, to conduct all acts and formalities that may be necessary for admission to listing before the appropriate authorities of the various Spanish or foreign securities markets.
