§ Voting Rights by Proxy
A shareholder who is an individual may participate in the Ordinary General Meeting and exercise voting rights personally or through a proxy. A shareholder who is not an individual may participate in the meeting and exercise voting rights through a person authorized to act on its behalf or through a proxy.
The proxy exercises all the rights of the shareholder at the general meeting, unless otherwise specified in the power of attorney. The proxy may grant further powers of attorney if authorized by the power of attorney. The proxy may represent more than one shareholder and vote differently on behalf of each shareholder. A shareholder with shares registered in more than one securities account may appoint separate proxies for each account.
The power of attorney for participation in the Ordinary General Meeting and the exercise of voting rights must be given in writing or electronically. An electronic power of attorney does not need to be secured with a qualified electronic signature.
A written power of attorney authorizing participation and voting must be delivered to the Company in original or notarized copy by no later than the day of the General Meeting (by 9:00 AM). At least one business day before the Ordinary General Meeting, i.e., no later than June 26, 2024, by 3:00 PM, the shareholder should notify the Company of the power of attorney electronically by sending an email to: walne@grupatrakcja.com. The power of attorney should be sent in a manner that allows effective verification of its validity.
The notification of the power of attorney in electronic form should include the exact details of the proxy and the shareholder, specifying the following information:
- For individuals: first name(s), last name, series and number of identity document, address, phone number, and email address;
- For other entities: name (company name), registration number, address, phone number, and email address. For legal entities, a scanned PDF copy of the relevant registry entry, not older than 3 months, should be attached.
The notification of the power of attorney should also specify its scope, i.e., indicate the number of shares for which voting rights will be exercised and the date of the general meeting at which these rights will be exercised.
The above rules do not exempt the proxy from the obligation to present, when preparing the attendance list of those entitled to participate in the Ordinary General Meeting, documents necessary for their identification.
The Company reserves the right to take actions to identify the shareholder and the proxy and verify the validity of the electronic power of attorney. The verification process may involve asking questions, either electronically or by phone, to the shareholder or proxy to ascertain the fact of granting the power of attorney and its scope. If the shareholder or proxy does not confirm the grant of power of attorney or if the Company does not receive a response to the questions by the Ordinary General Meeting day (by 8:30 AM), the Company reserves the right to refuse admission of the proxy to the Ordinary General Meeting.
For a written power of attorney (or a series of powers of attorney) from a shareholder who is not an individual, a current registry entry (in original or appropriately certified copy) no older than 3 months, confirming the right to represent the shareholder, must be attached. The current entry from the register of entrepreneurs for a shareholder who is not an individual should include entries regarding the persons authorized to grant the power of attorney on behalf of the shareholder.
Members of the Company’s Management Board and employees may act as proxies for shareholders at the Ordinary General Meeting.
If the proxy at the general meeting is a member of the Management Board, a member of the Supervisory Board, a liquidator, an employee of the Company, or a member of the governing bodies or an employee of a subsidiary, the power of attorney may authorize representation only at one general meeting. The proxy is required to disclose any circumstances indicating a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest. Granting further power of attorney is excluded. Such a proxy votes according to the instructions given by the shareholder.
