Furthermore, the Shareholders' Meeting will be informed of the amendments made to the Board of Directors Regulations since the holding of the last Shareholders' Meeting, i.e. since June 20, 2019.

RIGHT TO ATTEND THE MEETING IN PERSON OR BY PROXY

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 September 3, 2020, 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 also 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 PRIOR TO THE MEETING

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

a) By postal or electronic correspondence: 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). The attendance, proxy and remote vote card may also be sent to the Company by e-mail to [email protected].

b) Electronically: accessing the "Annual Shareholders' Meeting 2020" section 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 September 7, 2020, 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.

Shareholders that are legal entities must send to the Company a photocopy of a power of attorney with sufficient powers, evidencing the authority of the individual signing the attendance, proxy and remote vote card in the name of the legal entity.

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.

Shareholders may obtain the Company's attendance, proxy and remote vote card by downloading and printing it from the corporate website, by retrieving it from the registered office of the Company, or by requesting the Shareholder Office (phone no.: +34 915 878 974/e-mail: [email protected]) to send it without charge. Based on the limitations at any time in effect due to the situation caused by COVID-19, shareholders who wish to obtain the proxy-granting or distance voting card are advised to use means other than retrieving it at the registered office or Shareholder Office of the Company, given that such limitations, for so long as they last, may make it impossible or not advisable to attend to the shareholders or allow their access to the Company's premises.

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 September 2, 2020, to be granted as proxy for such shares. Persons who hold an interest in CDIs through the IAG Nominee Service operated by Computershare Company Nominees Limited and who wish to attend the Shareholders' Meeting must complete and return a proxy form to Computershare, by 1100 (BST) on September 2, 2020, to be granted a proxy. Computershare shall send the form to the registered address held by Computershare for each person who holds CDIs or an interest in CDIs through the IAG Nominee Service. Further information is available for CDI holders or persons who hold an interest in CDIs through the IAG Nominee Service from Computershare on + 44 (0) 370 702 0110, Monday to Friday, from 0830 to 1730 (BST) (excluding Bank Holidays).

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 September 2, 2020. 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.

REMOTE ATTENDANCE

In accordance with article 41 of Royal Decree-Law 8/2020 of March 17, 2020 on urgent extraordinary measures to confront the economic and social impact of COVID-19, the Board of Directors has resolved that the Shareholders' Meeting can also be attended using online technology that allows for a real-time connection with the venue where the Shareholders' Meeting is being held, according with the following rules.

  • (iii) The shareholder or proxy holder that has pre-registered according to point (ii) above will be entitled to attend the meeting remotely through the "Annual Shareholders' Meeting 2020" section on the Company's website, provided that the shareholder or proxy holder logs into the platform before 1145 (CEST) on the date of the Shareholders' Meeting.
  • (iv) CDI holders who wish to attend the meeting remotely must have completed and returned the proxy form to Computershare according to the prior section (CDI Holders). CDI holders who have already voted by remote means prior to the meeting will not be able to attend remotely and therefore will be invited to follow the meeting in streaming though the Company's website (www.iairgroup.com).
  • (v) The shareholder or proxy holder that has registered to attend remotely according to point (ii) and (iii) above and wishes to leave the Shareholders' Meeting, placing it on record before the notary or personnel assisting the notary (or, in the absence thereof, before the secretary of the Shareholders' Meeting) may do so through the link that will be provided for that purpose in the online platform.
  • (vi) The shareholders or proxy holders attending remotely who intend to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting and, as the case may be, make proposals for resolutions in the legally established cases or request information or clarifications during the holding of the Shareholders' Meeting, must state that intention when entering the online platform, in the manner established in the online platform. Once that intention has been expressed, the speeches, resolution proposals and requests for information or clarifications may be made in writing, with a length of no more than 4,000 characters, through the form that will be available in the online platform until 1200 (CEST) on the date of the Shareholders' Meeting. Shareholders wishing to have their participation recorded in the minutes of the meeting shall expressly state such circumstance in the above-mentioned text.
  • (vii) If the General Meeting is held on second call, remote attendees who have connected to the meeting on first call and who have submitted proposals for resolutions or requests for information or clarifications must send them again, as stated above, on

the day that the meeting is held; otherwise they shall be deemed to have not been submitted.

  • (viii) Valid requests for information or clarifications by the shareholders attending remotely shall be answered within the seven days following the holding of the meeting, in accordance with article 182 of the Companies Act, notwithstanding the possibility that they may be answered verbally during the Shareholders' Meeting.
  • (ix) Duly registered shareholders and proxy holders attending remotely may issue their vote through the online platform, on the terms established therein and according to the appropriate voting form, and the provisions of article 31 of the Shareholders' Meeting Regulations shall apply to that vote.
  • (x) The period for voting through the online platform for shareholders attending remotely will be open until the end of the Shareholders' Meeting or such later time as may be specified, if applicable, by the Chairman of the meeting.
  • (xi) For all relevant legal purposes, remote attendance by shareholders will be equivalent to those attending in person the Shareholders' Meeting.

The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, cancel or restrict the mechanisms for attending the Shareholders' Meeting remotely when so required or warranted for technical reasons or reasons of security.

The Company will not be liable for any damage caused to shareholders as a result of malfunctions, overloads, line failures, failed connections or any other contingency of the same or a similar nature, beyond the control of the Company, that hinders the use of the mechanisms described in this section for electronic attendance. Therefore, such circumstances will not constitute an unlawful deprivation of shareholder attendance rights.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS IN VIEW OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

In order to safeguard the general interests and preserve the health of the shareholders, employees and other individuals involved in the preparation and holding of the Shareholders' Meeting as a consequence of the public health crisis arising from COVID-19 pandemic, shareholders are encouraged to participate remotely by exercising the right to proxy representation and remote voting or remote attendance, without attending physically the venue at which the meeting will be held.

Furthermore, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, physical attendance by the shareholders (or their proxies) at the Shareholders' Meeting could be hindered or restricted by any measures that may be in force on the date of the meeting (which could give rise to discriminatory situations, as in the case of limitation of attendees), in which case the Board of Directors could decide that the meeting will exclusively be held virtually, without the physical attendance of shareholders.

As soon as reasonable possible, and in any case within the legal deadlines, the Company will report through its website (www.iairgroup.com), the National Securities Market Commission, and through the additional media it deems required, on any changes or measures taken in relation to the holding of the Shareholders' Meeting. In the days prior to the holding of the meeting, shareholders are asked to check for any potential changes on the corporate website (www.iairgroup.com), which will provide the latest available information; so that shareholders can fully exercise their rights without having to physically attend the meeting.

SHAREHOLDERS' ELECTRONIC FORUM

Pursuant to the legislation in force, the Company has set up on its website (www.iairgroup.com) a Shareholders' Electronic Forum, which will be used in keeping with its legal purpose and the safeguards and operating rules established by the Company, and may be accessed by all appropriately authorised shareholders and shareholders' associations.
