RIGHT TO ATTEND AND RIGHT OF REPRESENTATION

Shareholders who have shares entered in their name on the relevant record of book entries at least five days before the date scheduled for the Shareholders' Meeting, that is, not later than June 15, 2019, considering that the Shareholders' Meeting will be held on second call, and evidence this by producing the appropriate attendance, proxy and remote vote card or certificate issued by one of the participating entities of the agency which manages said accounting register or in any other manner permitted by legislation in force, will be entitled to attend the Shareholders' Meeting in a speaking and voting capacity.

Holders of CREST Depository Interests (CDI) representing shares in the Company will not be entitled to attend or vote or exercise other shareholder rights at the Shareholders' Meeting unless they have been appointed as a proxy to attend and speak at the Shareholders' Meeting and to vote the underlying shares to which such holder is entitled. Further information on the requirements for CDI holders to appoint proxies is set out in this notice.

All shareholders authorised to attend the Shareholders' Meeting may appoint any other person to represent them by fulfilling the requirements and formalities required to this end.

Attendance, proxy and remote vote cards will be issued and sent out by the Company to the addresses of the shareholders, as they appear on the Company's share register book. Attendance, proxy and remote vote card will be available on the Company's website (www.iairgroup.com) in both Spanish and English.

In order for the proxy to be valid, it must be accepted by the proxy-holder. Save for the provisions regarding remote proxies, proxy-holders must record their acceptance on the attendance, proxy and remote vote card that has been signed as required by the proxyholder. Notwithstanding this, all of the Board members have stated their personal decision to accept and carry out all proxies conferred on them, meaning that it will not be necessary for them to sign each individual attendance, proxy and remote vote card appointing them as proxies in order to leave record of their acceptance.

PROXIES AND VOTING BY REMOTE MEANS

Shareholders may appoint proxies or cast their vote prior to the Shareholders' Meeting using the following remote means of communication:

  • a) By post: by sending their original attendance, proxy and remote vote card, with the relevant section duly completed and signed, to the Shareholder Office (IAG) (calle Martínez Villergas, 49, 28027 Madrid).
  • b) Electronically: on the Company's website (www.iairgroup.com), by following the instructions given and using their electronic DNI (DNIe) or their digital signature based on a recognised and valid certificate issued by the Spanish Public Certification Entity (CERES) attached to Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre.

Proxies appointed or remote votes cast using any of the remote means set out above must be received by the Company not later than midnight on the day immediately preceding the date scheduled for the Shareholders' Meeting that is, not later than midnight June 19, 2019, considering that the Shareholders' Meeting will be held on second call. Otherwise, proxies will be considered not to have been appointed for the meeting or remote votes will be considered not issued.

Attendance at the Shareholders' Meeting by the represented shareholder, whether in person or by having voted using remote means, will revoke the appointment of a proxy, regardless of the date of the appointment.

The Company will not be liable for any loss caused to shareholders as a result of malfunctions, overloads, line failures, connection failures or any other contingency of the same or a similar nature, beyond the control of the Company, that prevent the use of electronic mechanisms. The Company also reserves the right to modify, suspend, cancel or restrict the procedures for electronic voting and/or proxies where technical or security reasons make this necessary or obligatory. It is exclusively the responsibility of shareholders to keep their electronic certificates safe. The Company will not be liable for any loss caused to shareholders as a result of failures or delays caused by deficiencies in the postal service beyond the control of the Company.

CDI holders may issue instructions for the appointment of proxies in accordance with the instructions set out in this notice.

CDI HOLDERS

CDI holders who wish to attend the Shareholders' Meeting and vote the underlying shares to which such holder is entitled must complete and return a proxy form to Computershare Investor Services PLC ("Computershare"), by 1700 (BST) on June 13, 2019, to be granted as proxy for such shares.

CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Proxy Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited's specifications, and must contain the information required for such instruction, as described in the CREST Manual (available at www.euroclear.com/CREST). The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy, must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by Computershare (ID number 3RA50) by 1700 (BST) on June 13, 2019. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the time stamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which Computershare is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
