METLEN PLC Notice of Annual General Meeting
Explanation of resolutions
Resolution 1: 2025 Integrated Annual Report
The Directors present the 2025 Integrated Annual Report to shareholders at the AGM in accordance with the UK Companies Act 2006 (Companies Act). The 2025 Integrated Annual Report contains the reports of the Directors (including the Strategic Report) and auditors as well as the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. The 2025 Integrated Annual Report can be found at metlen.com
Resolution: 2: Director's Remuneration Report
This resolution seeks shareholder approval for the Director's Remuneration Report (DRR) for the year ended 31 December 2025, set out on pages 309 to 325 of the 2025 Integrated Annual Report (excluding the Directors' Remuneration Policy, set out on pages 312 to 318 of the 2025 Integrated Annual Report).
In accordance with the Companies Act, the vote on this resolution is advisory and the Director's entitlement to remuneration is not conditional on it being passed.
Resolution 3: Director's Remuneration Policy
In accordance with the Companies Act, shareholders must be given the opportunity to approve a Directors' Remuneration Policy at least every three years by way of a binding vote. Accordingly, this resolution seeks shareholder approval for the proposed Directors' Remuneration Policy, which can be found on pages 312 to 318 of the 2025 Integrated Annual Report, together with a report of the work undertaken by the Remuneration Committee to ensure the Directors' Remuneration Policy is appropriate and aligned with the strategic goals and key performance indicators of the Company and its subsidiaries and subsidiary undertakings (together, the "Group"), as well as UK corporate governance good practice.
The Directors' Remuneration Policy sets out the Company's forward-looking policy on Directors' remuneration and is subject to a binding shareholder vote. If Resolution 3 is passed, the Directors' Remuneration Policy will take effect from the date of this AGM. Approval is for a period of up to three years and a Directors' Remuneration Policy will be put to shareholders for approval again no later than the 2029 AGM.
Resolution 4: Final Dividend
This resolution seeks shareholder approval to pay a first and final dividend of € 1.00 per share for the year ended 31 December 2025 that will be paid, if approved, on Thursday, 16 July 2026 to all ordinary shareholders who are registered as such on the register at the close of business on the record date of Friday, 26 June 2026.
Following the reduction of capital that was made effective by the Company on 17 November 2025, the Company has created additional distributable reserves which can be used by the Company to deliver shareholder returns, including the final dividend proposed by this resolution. As the Company is tax resident in Greece, and for the purposes of Greek law 4172/2013 and Greek law 5162/2024, the final dividend is expected to be treated both for Greek corporate income tax purposes and for Greek withholding tax purposes as a return of share capital.
Each shareholder should seek advice from their personal tax advisor regarding the tax treatment of any amounts received from the Company in their country of tax residence.
Resolutions 5 - 17: Election of Directors
Resolutions 5 to 17 relate to the election of the Director(s) of the Company.
In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, any director appointed as such by the Board shall retire at the following AGM and shall be eligible for election. In addition, in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association and established corporate governance practice, each Director wishing to continue their appointment is required to submit themselves for re-election by shareholders at the AGM.
The Board considers that each Director continues to be effective and their contribution supports the long-term sustainable success of the Company. The skills and experience of each Director, which can be found on pages 291 to 294, demonstrate why their contribution is, and continues to be, important to the Company's long-term sustainable success.
In considering the independence of the independent Non-executive Directors, the Board has taken into account guidance from the UK Corporate Governance Code 2024 (Code) and the conduct, independence of thought and judgement exhibited by the independent directors during Board and Committee meetings.
Mr Mytilineos has served more than nine years as chair. The Board considers that having the stability provided by Mr Mytilineos' leadership of the Group in his role as chair is in the best interests of the Company and his leadership of the Company over thirty years has had a positive effect on its performance.
The Board believes it is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders for Mr Mytilineos to be elected as a Director of the Company.
Mr Lowry does not meet the Code's criteria to be considered independent due to his position as managing director of Hamblin Watsa Investment Counsel Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited which holds approximate 8.35 per cent of METLEN's ordinary shares and is therefore considered a major shareholder of the Company. After careful consideration, the Board concluded that Mr Lowry's election as a Director is in the best interests of the Company, its shareholders and other stakeholders, taking into consideration the overall composition of the Board and the knowledge, skills and experience that Mr Lowry contributes at Board and Committee meetings.
Resolutions 18 and 19: Appointment of auditor and auditor's remuneration.
At each meeting at which the accounts are presented to its shareholders, the Company is required to appoint an auditor to hold office until the end of the next such meeting.
Resolution 18, on the Audit & Risk Committee's recommendation, seeks shareholder approval for the re-appointment of (a) PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditors of the Company to hold office from the conclusion of this AGM until the conclusion of the next general meeting at which accounts are laid before the Company's members with respect to the Company's reporting obligations in the United Kingdom, and (b) PricewaterhouseCoopers S.A. as auditors of the Company to hold office from the conclusion of this AGM until the conclusion of the next general meeting at which accounts are laid before the Company's members with respect to the Company's reporting obligations in Greece stemming from the secondary listing of the Company's shares with the Athens Stock Exchange.
Resolution 19 seeks shareholder approval for the Audit & Risk Committee (for and on behalf of the Directors) to be authorised to determine the remuneration of the auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers S.A.
METLEN PLC Notice of Annual General Meeting
Explanation of resolutions continued
Resolution 20: Authority to allot shares
This resolution deals with the Directors' authority to allot shares and grant rights to subscribe for, or to convert any security into, shares in accordance with section 551 of the Companies Act in place of the existing authority to allot shares approved at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 20 June 2025 (which was held before the listing of the Company's ordinary shares on the London Stock Exchange).
This resolution complies with the Share Capital Management Guidelines issued by the Investment Association (IA) (as updated in February 2023), which companies listed on the London Stock Exchange are encouraged to comply with. These guidelines state that the IA's members will permit, and treat as routine, resolutions seeking authority to allot shares representing up to two thirds of the Company's issued share capital. However, any routine authority to allot shares representing more than one third of the Company's issued share capital should only be used to allot shares pursuant to a fully pre-emptive rights issue.
The authority in sub-paragraph (i) of this resolution will allow the Directors to allot new shares and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert other securities into, shares up to a nominal value of €47,674,326.67 (representing 47,674,326 Ordinary Shares), which is equivalent to one third of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 13 April 2026 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice).
The authority in sub-paragraph (ii) of this resolution will allow the Directors to allot new shares and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert other securities into, shares only in connection with a fully pre-emptive rights issue up to a nominal value of €47,674,326.67 (representing 47,674,326 Ordinary Shares) which is equivalent to one third of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 13 April 2026 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice), such amount to be reduced by the amount of any relevant securities issued under the authority conferred by sub-paragraph (i) of this resolution.
The Company does not currently hold any shares in treasury.
The authorities granted under this resolution will apply until the earlier of the end of the Company's next AGM or close of business on 20 August 2027. However, before they expire the Company may make offers and enter into agreements which would, or might, require shares to be allotted (or certain rights granted over shares) after these authorities expire and the Directors may allot shares (or grant certain rights over shares) under any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired. These authorities are without prejudice to allotments made under previous authorities.
The Directors do not have any present intention to exercise this authority, however they consider it appropriate and in the best interests of the Company to maintain the flexibility that these authorities provide so that the Board has the maximum flexibility permitted by investor guidelines to respond to market developments and to allot securities at short notice if the need arises, without the delays and expense involved in holding a general meeting. If the authority is exercised in the future, the Directors intend to follow best practice as recommended by the IA. It is anticipated that the Directors will seek to renew these authorities at each AGM.
Resolution 21 and 22: Disapplication of pre-emption rights
Under section 561(1) of the Companies Act, if the Directors wish to exercise the authority given under Resolution 20 to issue shares for cash (other than in relation to an employee share scheme), they must first offer those shares to the Company's existing shareholders in proportion to their holdings. The Directors believe that there may be occasions when it is in the best interests of the Company to issue shares for cash to finance business opportunities without first offering all or some of them to existing shareholders. Resolutions 21 and 22 would allow the Directors to disapply the strict statutory pre-emption provisions in these circumstances.
Resolutions 21 and 22 comply with the Pre-Emption Group's 2022 Statement of Principles for Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights (Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles), which supports companies seeking authority to disapply the pre-emption provisions when issuing shares for cash in relation to:
(i) 10 per cent of issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) for use on an unrestricted basis (a general disapplication);
(ii) an additional 10 per cent of issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) to be used only in connection with the financing (or refinancing, if the authority is to be used within 12 months after the original transaction) of an acquisition or specified capital investment which is announced contemporaneously with the allotment, or which has taken place in the preceding 12 month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the allotment; and
(iii) in each case, a further authority of no more than 2 per cent to be used only for the purposes of making a follow-on offer of a kind contemplated by paragraph 3 of Section 2B of the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles.
Resolution 21 will permit the Directors to allot Ordinary Shares for cash (or sell treasury shares) on a non-pre-emptive basis up to a maximum nominal amount of €14,302,298, being 10 per cent of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 13 April 2026 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice).
Resolution 22 will permit the Directors to additionally allot Ordinary Shares for cash (or sell treasury shares) on a non-pre-emptive basis up to a further maximum nominal amount of €14,302,298, being 10 per cent of issued ordinary share capital as at 13 April 2026 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice) to be used in connection with the financing (or refinancing, if the authority is to be used within 12 months after the original transaction) of an acquisition or specified capital investment which is announced contemporaneously with the allotment or which has taken place in the preceding 12-month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the allotment.
METLEN PLC Notice of Annual General Meeting
Resolutions 21 and 22 will also permit the Directors to additionally allot Ordinary Shares for cash (or sell treasury shares) on a non-pre-emptive basis up to a maximum aggregate nominal amount equal to approximately 20 per cent of any allotment of equity securities and/or sale of treasury shares made from time to time under the corresponding resolution.
The authorities granted by Resolutions 21 and 22 will expire at the earlier of the end of the Company's next AGM or close of business on 20 August 2027; however, before they expire the Company may allot Ordinary Shares for cash (or sell treasury shares) on a non-pre-emptive basis and enter into agreements which would, or might, require Ordinary Shares to be allotted (or treasury shares sold) on a non-pre-emptive basis after these authorities expire and the Directors may allot Ordinary Shares for cash (or sell treasury shares) on a non-pre-emptive basis under any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired. These authorities are without prejudice to allotments made under previous authorities.
The Directors have no present intention to exercise the authorities conferred by these resolutions and will only use the power conferred by Resolution 22 in connection with an acquisition or a specified capital investment which is announced contemporaneously with the issue, or which has taken place in the preceding 12-month period. The announcement regarding the issue will disclose the background and the reasons for the offer and the proposed use of proceeds, including details of any acquisition or specified capital investment.
The Directors confirm their intention to follow the shareholder protections in Part 2B of the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles as well as the expected features of a follow-on offer as set out in paragraph 3 of Part 2B of the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles.
Resolution 23: Authority to make on-market purchases of own shares:
This resolution seeks authority for the Company to make market purchases of its own Ordinary Shares as permitted by the Companies Act.
Under section 693 of the Companies Act, the Company is only permitted to make market purchases of its Ordinary Shares on a recognised investment exchange. Although the London Stock Exchange (on which the Company's Ordinary Shares are listed) is currently designated as a recognised investment exchange, ATHEX (on which the Company's Ordinary Shares are also listed) is not.
This explanatory note should be read together with the explanatory note to Resolution 24, which relates to the ability of the Company to make off-market purchases (within the meaning of section 693(2) of the Companies Act) of its own shares.
If passed, Resolutions 23 and 24 give authority for the Company to purchase up to 14,302,298 Ordinary Shares, representing 10 per cent of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 13 April 2026 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice). The authority specifies the minimum and maximum prices that may be paid for any Ordinary Shares. The purchase of Ordinary Shares by the Company under this authority would be effected by purchases on the market. Any repurchases made pursuant to the authority in Resolution 24 will reduce the available authority under this Resolution 23 and vice versa.
The authority granted by this resolution shall expire (unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting) at the earlier of the end of the Company's next AGM or close of business on 20 August 2027. The Directors intend to seek renewal of the authority at each annual general meeting of the Company.
Notes which apply to Resolutions 23 and 24
Any Ordinary Shares purchased under the authority in Resolutions 23 and 24 may be either cancelled or held as treasury shares, which may then be cancelled, sold for cash or used to satisfy obligations under employee share schemes. No dividends are paid on shares while they are in treasury, and no voting rights attach to treasury shares.
As at 13 April 2026 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice), the Company did not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury, and there were no warrants over the Company's Ordinary Shares nor any options to subscribe over the Company's Ordinary Shares outstanding.
In considering whether to use these authorities, the Directors will consider market conditions, appropriate gearing levels, the Company's share price, other investment opportunities and the overall financial position of the Company. The Directors will only exercise the authority to purchase Ordinary Shares where they consider that such purchases will be in the best interests of shareholders generally and will result in an increase in earnings per Ordinary Share. The Directors intend that any shares purchased under the authority granted by Resolutions 23 and 24 will be cancelled or held as treasury shares, which may then be cancelled, sold for cash or used to meet the Company's obligations under its share schemes.
Resolution 24: Authority to make off-market purchases of own shares
As mentioned in the notes to Resolution 23, market purchases of a company's own shares may only be made on a recognised investment exchange. The Regulated Securities Market of the Athens Exchange (ATHEX) is not currently a recognised investment exchange. Therefore, in order to undertake share repurchases on ATHEX as well as in the UK, the Company needs to comply with specific procedures under the Companies Act for "off market" purchases of shares.
METLEN PLC Notice of Annual General Meeting
Explanation of resolutions continued
In order for the Company to carry out repurchases on ATHEX (ATHEX Repurchases) within the legal framework of the Companies Act, the Company proposes to approve a form of repurchase contract (Contract) and the appointment of Alpha Finance Investment Services Single Member S.A., BofA Securities Europe SA, BNP Paribas SA, Citigroup Global Markets Europe AG, Eurobank Equities Investment Firm Single Member S.A., Euroxx Securities S.A., J.P. Morgan Securities plc, Morgan Stanley & Co. International Plc, National Securities Single Member S.A., Optima bank SA or Piraeus Securities S.A. (or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates from time to time) (each, a Broker) separately under one or more Contracts.
The intention is for the Company to be able to carry out share repurchases in the UK and in Greece. Any such repurchases could be carried out in the UK and in Greece in parallel or separately.
Under any Contract, the relevant Broker may be appointed either on a discretionary or a non-discretionary basis for a specified period to buy Ordinary Shares within certain parameters set out in the schedule to the Contract. Subject to these parameters, decisions on when to buy or how much to pay for the Ordinary Shares will be made by the Broker independently of the Company.
Approval of the form of the Contract and counterparties is not an approval of a specific share repurchase activity or the amount or timing of any repurchase activity. Ordinary Shares will be repurchased by the Company in accordance with a specific share repurchase activity or share repurchase programme if it is approved by the Board. There can be no assurance as to whether an ATHEX Repurchase will be used to repurchase any of the Ordinary Shares or, if an ATHEX Repurchase is used, the amount of any such repurchase or the prices at which such repurchase may be made. However, the maximum and minimum prices that may be paid for any Ordinary Shares pursuant to Resolution 24 are specified in the resolution.
If the Directors decide to exercise the authority given to them under this resolution, it may be exercised in conjunction with any repurchases under Resolution 23 or separately. Any repurchases made pursuant to the authority in Resolution 23 will reduce the available authority under this Resolution 24 and vice versa.
A copy of the Contract will be made available for shareholders to inspect at the Company's registered office at 19th Floor, 51 Lime Street, London, EC3M 7DQ, United Kingdom, from the date of publication of this Notice until the date of the AGM. A copy of the Contract will also be available for inspection at the AGM.
The authority granted by this resolution shall expire (unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting) at the earlier of the end of the Company's next AGM or close of business on 20 August 2027. The Directors intend to seek renewal of the authority at each annual general meeting of the Company.
Resolution 25: Authority to call general meetings on 14 days' notice
Resolution 25, if passed, authorises the calling of general meetings other than an annual general meeting on not less than 14 clear days' notice.
The Companies Act requires listed companies to call general meetings on at least 21 clear days' notice unless shareholders approve a shorter notice period, which cannot be less than 14 clear days (other than for annual general meetings, which must always be held on at least 21 clear days' notice).
If passed, the authority granted by this resolution shall be effective until the Company's next AGM when a similar resolution will be proposed. The flexibility offered by this resolution will only be used in limited and time-sensitive circumstances, where the Directors consider it is merited by the business of the general meeting and to the advantage of the Company and shareholders as a whole.
The Company offers the facility for all shareholders to vote by electronic means at any general meeting. The Company also provides the ability to appoint proxies electronically through CREST and retail shareholders can vote online via investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy

Meeting Information
The following notes explain your general rights as a shareholder and your rights to attend and vote at the 2026 AGM or to appoint someone else to vote on your behalf.
1. Entitlement to attend and vote
Only shareholders named on the Company's register of members at 8:00 p.m. EEST (6:00 p.m. BST) on Tuesday 19 May 2026 (or, in the event of any adjournment, 8:00 p.m. EEST (6:00 p.m. BST) on the day which is two days before the adjourned meeting excluding any non-working days) (each, respectively, the Record Date) are entitled to attend the meeting (in person) and vote, whether in person, electronically or by proxy, at the AGM in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that time. Changes to the register of members after the relevant deadline will be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote. Please refer to section 3, the sub-section titled
"Shareholders holding ordinary shares through ATHEXCSD" in relation to the cut-off dates for voting by shareholders holding shares through the ATHEXCSD.
Any shareholder attending the meeting in person or by proxy has the right to ask questions on the business of the meeting in accordance with section 319A of the Companies Act and these can be raised at the AGM:
(i) submitting questions upon registration at the venue, and
(ii) orally, in person at the AGM.
The Company must provide an answer to any question relating to the business being dealt with at the meeting, but no such answer need be given if:
(i) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information,
(ii) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question, or
(iii) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the meeting that the question be answered.
Guests will not be permitted to ask questions.
Voting at the AGM will be conducted by way of a poll rather than on a show of hands. The Board believes a poll is more representative of shareholders' voting intentions because shareholders' votes are counted according to the number of shares held and all votes tendered are taken into account.
As soon as practicable following the meeting, the results of the voting will be announced via a regulatory information service and posted on the Company's website.
2. Information regarding the meeting available on website
A copy of this Notice, the 2025 Integrated Annual Report, Form of Proxy and other information required by section 311A of the Companies Act can be found on our website at https://www.metlen.com/investor-relations/general-meetings/
3. Attending or viewing the meeting
The procedures set out below are in addition to the entitlement requirements set out in section 1 above.
Shareholders holding ordinary shares through ATHEXCSD
In accordance with applicable Greek law and the rules of the Athens Stock Exchange, shareholders holding ordinary shares through ATHEXCSD will be verified against the records of ATHEXCSD as at the Record Date. Only shareholders appearing in the records of ATHEXCSD as at the Record Date will be entitled to attend and vote at the AGM in respect of the shares so registered. Shareholders may participate based on confirmations or notifications provided by intermediaries in accordance with Articles 3, 5 and 6 of EU Regulation 2018/1212.
Shareholders who hold their ordinary shares through ATHEXCSD may exercise their right to vote at the AGM by sending to their ATHEXCSD Participant (i) their votes for the resolutions, or (ii) notice of their intention to attend and vote in the meeting; or (iii) appointment of a proxy. Subject to requirements, such instructions may be cancellable.
Shareholders who hold their ordinary shares through ATHEXCSD and do not wish to attend in order to vote at the AGM in person may send their voting instructions to their ATHEXCSD Participant to vote on their behalf. Shareholders wishing to do so should contact their ATHEXCSD Participant as soon as possible.
Shareholders who hold their ordinary shares through ATHEXCSD and wish to attend the AGM in person should also note the following procedures:
Letter of Representation (LOR): Shareholders who hold their ordinary shares through an ATHEXCSD Participant and wish to attend the AGM in person should request a Letter of Representation from their ATHEXCSD Participant in advance of the meeting. Shareholders should allow sufficient time for the Letter of Representation to be obtained and delivered to them prior to the AGM.
Attendance requirements: Shareholders wishing to attend the AGM in person must present a printed copy of their Letter of Representation together with a valid form of identification (such as a passport or national identity card) at the registration desk upon arrival at the meeting venue.
Attendance without voting: Shareholders who wish to attend the AGM without exercising voting rights (for example, because they have already submitted a proxy vote) may do so by presenting a Letter of Representation that specifies attendance rights only. Such shareholders will be registered as guests. The Company may, in its discretion, permit shareholders to attend as guests without formal documentation.
Information required for Letters of Representation: The Letter of Representation should specify: (i) where the shares are held on the register; (ii) the number of shares being represented; (iii) the rights conferred (including the right to attend, ask questions and vote); and (iv) the representative/proxy name and email. Shareholders should ensure this information is complete before attending the AGM.
For further information on the procedures applicable to shareholders holding shares through ATHEXCSD, please contact your ATHEXCSD Participant.
Attending in Person - other shareholders
Other shareholders wishing to attend the meeting in person must present their Shareholder Reference Number (included in the proxy form posted with this Notice or the electronic broadcast issued by the Company's Registrar when this Notice was published).
Nominated persons (as described in Note 13 below) and corporate representatives must present a printed copy of the corresponding letter of representation.
The above people and proxy holders must present the relevant documents together with a valid form of identification (such as a passport or national identity card) at the registration desk upon arrival at the meeting venue.

Appendix II continued
4. Appointment of proxies
Shareholders are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of their rights to attend the AGM and to speak and vote on their behalf. A proxy does not need to be a member of the Company. If you appoint a proxy, you will still be able to attend and vote at the meeting if you wish to do so. If you vote in person on a resolution, then as regards that resolution your appointment of a proxy will not be valid.
A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the AGM provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that shareholder. Any shareholder appointing more than one proxy should indicate the number of shares for which each proxy is authorised to act on their behalf.
The proxy form that accompanies this document must be used to appoint a proxy. Please read the instructions on the proxy form.

5. Appointment of proxies through CREST
CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the meeting to be held on 21 May 2026 and any adjournment(s) of it by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com). 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.
For a proxy appointment or instructions 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 Ltd's (EUI) specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. 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 the Company's agent ID 3RA50 no later than 11:00 a.m. EEST (9:00 a.m. BST) on Tuesday 19 May 2026, or, in the event of an adjournment of the meeting:

METLEN PLC Notice of Annual General Meeting
For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the issuer's agent 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.
CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that EUI does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular message. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member, or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 (SI 2001/3755).
If you appoint a proxy via the CREST electronic proxy appointment service, you will still be able to attend and vote at the meeting if you wish to do so. If you vote in person or by means of an electronic platform on a resolution, then as regards that resolution your appointment of a proxy will not be valid.
6. Duly appointed proxies and corporate representatives:
If you appoint a proxy other than the Chair of the meeting, or you appoint a corporate representative, they will need to attend the AGM to vote on your behalf.
A corporation which is a shareholder can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise, on its behalf, all its powers as a shareholder provided that no more than one corporate representative exercises powers over the same shares.
If you have been appointed as a proxy for a shareholder entitled to vote, you should bring proof of identity with you to the AGM to be presented upon request at registration. We reserve the right to refuse entry in the event we are not satisfied with proof of identity.
Shareholders who hold their ordinary shares through an ATHEXCSD Participant and wish to appoint a proxy should contact their ATHEXCSD Participant for instructions relating to proxy appointment.
7. Changing proxy instructions
Shareholders may change proxy instructions by submitting a new proxy appointment. Note that the deadline for receipt of proxy appointments also applies in relation to amended instructions; any amended proxy appointment received after the relevant deadline will be disregarded.
Where you have appointed a proxy using the hard-copy proxy form and would like to change the instructions using another hard-copy proxy form, please contact Computershare.
If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.
Shareholders who hold their ordinary shares through an ATHEXCSD Participant and appoint a proxy should contact their ATHEXCSD Participant for instructions on how to change their proxy instructions.
8. Can I change my mind once I have appointed a proxy?
