II. The Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders will have the following:

AGENDA:

1. To approve the decrease of the company's share capital from RON 85,691,097 to RON 85,691,044 by cancelling a number of 528 own shares, with a par value of RON 0.1 per share, acquired by the company following the enforcement of the awarding report and the method of rounding to the lower integer, at the time of increasing the share capital pursuant to the EGMS Decision no. 1/27.04.2017.

The grounds for decreasing the share capital reside in the need to optimise the share capital structure considering that, on the one hand, acquiring the own shares to be cancelled has not been associated to a specific purpose, and, on the other hand, preserving those shares as own shares brings no benefits to the company and its shareholders.

2. To approve the redemption of its own shares by Teraplast S.A., pursuant to the applicable legal provisions, under the following circumstances: maximum 5,150,000 shares (i.e. maximum 0.60% of the total number of shares the share capital is comprised of), with a par value of RON 0.1 per share, at a minimum price equal to the BVB [Bucharest Stock Exchange] market price at the time of the purchase, and a maximum price of RON 0.8/share, but limited to the amount of RON 1,850,000, for a period of maximum 18 months from the date of publishing the EGMS Decision in the Official Gazette of Romania, Section 4, for the implementation of a staff remuneration system that shall comply with the principle of long-term performance, and also with a loyalty rewards scheme. The shares subject to redemption are paid from the distributable profit or the available funds of the company, recorded in the last approved annual financial statement, expect the legal funds, pursuant to Article 103 item (1) of Law 31/1990, updated.

3. To authorise the company's Board of Directors to enact and execute the share redemption decision pursuant to item 2 on EGMS agenda.

4. To approve the updating of the Company's Articles of Association in accordance with those approved at item 1 above, as follows:

Art. 7. par. (1) "The subscribed and paid-up share capital of TERAPLAST S.A. is of RON 85,691,097, being divided into 856,910,970 registered shares, with a par value of RON 0.1 per share." shall be amended as follows:

"The subscribed and paid-up share capital of TERAPLAST S.A. is of RON 85,691,044, being divided into 856,910,442 registered shares, with a par value of RON 0.1 per share."

5.

The Board of Directors suggests for such limit of indebtedness to be raised from a total amount of RON 135,000,000 to RON 185,000,000.

6.
