Certification of ownership is not required for the exercise of shareholders' rights; the entitlement is verified by way of the identification procedure prescribed in the act on securities and in rules of procedures of the central depository (KELER Zrt.)

The registration shall occur on the day of the AGM between 9:00 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. The Company hereby kindly requests its shareholders to bring all the documents which are required to verify their identity and right to representation as well as the proxy in the case of an authorized representative. Shareholders may exercise their shareholders' rights through representatives. One representative may represent several shareholders; however, one shareholder may have only one representative. If the shareholder holds shares of the same company in more than one securities account, it may authorize different proxy holders for each securities account. However, with respect to the shares held by the same shareholder, the votes cannot be different. If different votes are cast in respect of shares held by the same shareholder, all votes of that shareholder are invalid. If a shareholder exercises its voting right by way of a representative, then the proxy holder shall cast votes in accordance with the instructions issued by the appointing shareholder, otherwise its vote is invalid. (Section 213 (2) of the Company Act). In this regard the shareholders shall give unequivocal voting instruction in the proxy for the representative and in case of absence of voting instructions, they shall specifically declare this in the proxy. If the proxy does not specifically state the instruction, the Company considers it as absence of instruction. If the representative received an instruction in writing, the shareholder shall send a copy signed by himself to the Company. Pursuant to the regulation stated in Section 213 (2) of the Company Act the representatives shall declare the instruction of the shareholder in writing before receiving the voting cards. The representatives shall also declare that they will vote according to the instruction and informed the Company about all the related instruction. The regulations above do not affect the regulations of the 'shareholder's nominees' in the meaning of the Capital Market Act.
