§ Method of Exercising Voting Rights by Proxy

A shareholder who is a natural person may participate in the Extraordinary General Meeting and exercise voting rights in person or by proxy. A shareholder who is not a natural person may participate in the meeting and exercise voting rights through a person authorized to make statements of will on its behalf or by 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 provided for in the power of attorney. The proxy may represent more than one shareholder and vote differently for each shareholder’s shares. A shareholder holding shares registered in more than one securities account may appoint separate proxies to exercise rights from shares registered in each of the accounts.

The power of attorney to participate in the Extraordinary General Meeting and exercise voting rights must be granted in writing or electronically. Electronic powers of attorney do not require a secure electronic signature.

A written power of attorney authorizing participation and exercising voting rights must be delivered to the Company in its original or a notarized copy no later than the day of the General Meeting (by 08:00). At least one business day before the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting, i.e., no later than April 22, 2024, by 3:00 p.m., the shareholder must notify the Company of the grant of the power of attorney in electronic form by sending the information via email to walne@grupatrakcja.com. The power of attorney should be sent in such a way as to allow for effective verification of its validity.

The information about the power of attorney in electronic form should include the exact identification of the proxy and the principal, specifying the following details:

  • For natural persons: first name(s), last name, series and number of identity card, address, phone number, and email address;
  • For other entities: name, registration number in the appropriate register, address, phone number, and email address. For legal entities, a scanned copy of the registration from the appropriate register, not older than 3 months, should be attached to the power of attorney.

The information about the power of attorney should also include its scope, i.e., indicating 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 principles do not exempt the proxy from the obligation to present, when preparing the attendance list of persons entitled to participate in the Extraordinary General Meeting, documents for identification purposes.

The Company reserves the right to undertake actions to identify the shareholder and proxy and verify the validity of the electronic power of attorney. The verification process may involve asking questions, electronically or by phone, to the shareholder or proxy to establish the fact of granting the power of attorney and its scope. If the shareholder or proxy does not confirm the grant of the power of attorney or if the Company does not receive responses to the questions by the latest on the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting (by 08:30), the Company reserves the right to refuse to admit the proxy to participate in the Extraordinary General Meeting.

For written powers of attorney (or chains of powers of attorney) from shareholders who are not natural persons, a copy of the appropriate register (in original or duly certified copy) not older than 3 months, confirming the right to represent the shareholder, should be attached.

The current excerpt from the register of entrepreneurs kept for a shareholder who is not a natural person should include entries regarding the persons granting powers of attorney on behalf of the shareholder who is not a natural person.

Members of the Company’s Management Board and employees may be proxies of shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

If a 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 bodies or employee of a company or cooperative dependent on the Company, the power of attorney may authorize representation only at one general meeting. The proxy must disclose to the shareholder any circumstances indicating the existence or potential for a conflict of interest. Further powers of attorney are excluded.
