According to Art. 121 para. 4, 124 and 128 of Law 4548/2018, as in force, the Company informs shareholders of the following:
Each share entitles the right to one (1) vote. Only physical or legal persons who have shareholder status at the beginning of the fifth (5th) day prior to the day of the General Meeting, i.e. on 24.05.2025 (record date) are entitled to participate and vote in the Annual Ordinary General Meeting, initial or any Repetitive General Meeting. The above record date also applies in the case of the postponed or any Repetitive General Meeting, provided that the postponed or repetitive meeting is not more than thirty (30) days apart from the record date (Art. 124 par. 6 of Law 4548/2018).
Proof of shareholding status is made by any legal means and in any case based on the information received by the Company until before the commencement of the General Assembly or a certificate or other form of certification from the registry of the Societe Anonyme under the name "HELLENIC CENTRAL SECURITIES DEPOSITORY SOCIETE ANONYME" EL.KA.T. or through registered intermediaries as the case may be, in compliance with the provisions of the legislation (Law 4548/2018, Law 4569/2018, Law 4706/2020 and Regulation (EU) 2018/1212) as well as the Operating Regulations of the Hellenic Central Securities Depository, as in force.
A shareholder may participate in the General Meeting based on confirmations or notifications of articles 5 and 6 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1212 provided by the intermediary, unless the Meeting refuses such participation for an important reason justifying its refusal in compliance with the applicable provisions (Art. 19 par. 1 of Law 4569/2018, Art. 124 par. 5 of Law 4548/2018).
It is noted that the exercise of these rights (participation and voting) does not require the blocking of the beneficiary's shares or the observance of any other similar procedure, which limits the ability to sell and transfer them during the period between the record date and the date of the Annual Ordinary General Meeting.
(a) At the request of shareholders representing one twentieth (1/20) of the paid-up share capital, the Board of Directors of the Company is obliged to include additional items in the agenda of the Annual Ordinary General Meeting, if the relevant request is received by the Board of Directors by 14.05.2025, i.e. at least fifteen (15) days before the Annual Ordinary General Meeting. The request for the inclusion of additional items in the agenda shall be accompanied by a justification or a draft decision for approval by the General Meeting and the revised agenda shall be made public in the same manner as the previous agenda, by 16.05.2025 , i.e. thirteen (13) days prior to the date of the Annual Ordinary General Meeting and simultaneously made available to shareholders on the Company's website (see below), together with the justification or draft decision submitted by the shareholders as provided for in para. 4 of Art. 123 of Law 4548/2018, as in force.
(b) Shareholders representing one twentieth (1/20) of the paid-up share capital have the right to submit draft resolutions on issues included in the initial or any revised agenda of the Annual Ordinary General Meeting. The relevant application must reach the Board of Directors by 22.05.2025, i.e. at least seven (7) days before the date of the Annual Ordinary General Meeting, and the draft resolutions are made available to shareholders in accordance with para. 3 of Art. 123 of Law 4548/2018, until 23.05.2025, i.e. at least six (6) days prior to the date of the Annual Ordinary General Meeting.
(c) At the request of any shareholder submitted to the Company by 23.05.2025, i.e. at least five (5) full days prior to the Annual Ordinary General Meeting, the Board of Directors is obliged to provide the General Meeting with the requested specific information on the Company's affairs, to the extent that these are relevant to the items on the agenda. There is no obligation to provide information when the relevant information is already available on the Company's website, in the form of questions and answers. Also, at the request of shareholders representing one twentieth (1/20) of the paid-up share capital, the Board of Directors is obliged to announce to the General Meeting the amounts paid during the last two years to each member of the Board of Directors or the Company's directors as well as any benefit to these persons for any reason or contract between the Company and them. In all the above cases, the Board of Directors may refuse to provide the information for a substantial reason, which shall be recorded in the minutes. Such a reason may be, under the circumstances, the representation of the applicant shareholders in the Board of Directors, in accordance with Art. 79 or 80 of Law 4548/2018. In the cases referred to in this paragraph, the Board of Directors may respond uniformly to shareholder requests with the same content.
(d) At the request of shareholders representing one tenth (1/10) of the paid-up share capital, which is submitted to the Company by 25.05.2025, i.e. at least five (5) full days prior to the Annual Ordinary General Meeting, the Board of Directors is obliged to provide the General Meeting with information on the course of corporate affairs and the state of the Company's assets. The Board of Directors may refuse to supply the information for a substantial reason, which shall be recorded in the minutes. Such a reason may be, under the circumstances, the representation of the applicant shareholders in the Board of Directors, in accordance with Art. 79 or 80 of Law 4548/2018, provided that the respective members of the Board of Directors have received the relevant information in an adequate manner.
(e) At the request of shareholders representing one twentieth (1/20) of the paid-up share capital, voting on an item or items of the agenda shall be carried out by open vote.
In all the above cases, the applicant shareholders must prove their shareholder status and, except in the case of the first subparagraph of para. 6 of Art. 141 of Law 4548/2018, the number of shares they hold when exercising the said right.
Proof of shareholder status may be made by any legal means and in any case based on information received by the Company or a certificate or other form of certification from the Societe Anonyme under the name "HELLENIC CENTRAL SECURITIES DEPOSITORY SOCIETE ANONYME" (EL.KA.T.) or the market infrastructure of DLT, provided that it provides registry services, or through intermediaries as the case may be.
The shareholder participates in the Annual Ordinary General Meeting and votes either in person or through a proxy. Each shareholder may appoint up to three (3) proxies. Legal persons participate in the General Assembly by appointing up to three (3) physical persons as their representatives. However, if the shareholder holds shares of the Company which appear in more than one securities account, this restriction does not prevent that shareholder from appointing different proxies for the shares appearing in each securities account in relation to the General Meeting. A proxy acting for several shareholders may vote differently for each shareholder.
The proxy votes, in accordance with the shareholder's instructions, if any. Any noncompliance of the proxy with the instructions received does not affect the validity of the resolutions of the General Meeting, even if the vote of the proxy was decisive for the achievement of the majority.
The proxy holder is obliged to disclose to the Company, before the commencement of the Annual Ordinary General Meeting, any fact, which may be useful to the shareholders in assessing the risk that the proxy may serve interests other than those of the shareholder. Within the meaning of this paragraph, a conflict of interest may arise when the representative:
(a) is a controlling shareholder of the Company or another legal person or entity controlled by such shareholder;
(b) is a member of the Board of Directors or generally of the Company's management or a controlling shareholder of the Company or of another legal person or entity controlled by a controlling shareholder;
(c) is an employee or auditor of the Company or a controlling shareholder of the Company or of another legal person or entity controlled by a shareholder who exercises control of the Company;
(d) is the spouse or first degree relative of one of the natural persons referred to in subparagraphs (a) to (c).
The appointment and revocation or replacement of the shareholder's representative or proxy shall be made in writing or by electronic means and shall be submitted to the Company at least forty-eight (48) hours before the date set for the convocation of the Annual Ordinary General Meeting (i.e. no later than, 27.05.2025 at 14:00) or, in the case of shareholders identified through intermediaries, through confirmations or notifications referred to in Articles 5 and 6 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1212 provided by intermediaries.
The Company has made available on its website (http://www.profilesw.com) the form used to appoint a representative or a proxy. This form is submitted completed and duly signed by the shareholder to the Investor Relations Department of the Company (199 Syggrou Avenue, Nea Smyrni, Attica) or sent by fax to fax 210-93.01.222 at least forty-eight (48) hours before the convocation of the Annual Ordinary General Meeting, i.e. no later than 27.05.2025 at 14:00.
