Voting rights exercised by an attorney

Shareholders who are natural persons may participate in the General Shareholders' Meeting and exercise their voting rights either in person or through an attorney.

Shareholders who are not natural persons may participate in the General Shareholders' Meeting and exercise their voting rights either in person or through a person authorised to make statements of will on their behalf, or through an attorney.

Power of attorney for the General Meeting of Shareholders must be granted in writing or in electronic form under pain of invalidity. A form containing a template of a letter of attorney and a form for executing voting rights through an attorney are available from the day this announcement is made, on “Barlinek” S.A.'s website in the Investor Relations/ General Meeting section.

A shareholder's announcement that power of attorney has been granted via electronic communication should be made by sending the file in pdf format to the Company at: wza@barlinek.com.pl no later than two hours before the General Meeting is due to start. The granting of power of attorney in electronic form does not require use of a safe electronic signature verified by a qualified certificate. The shareholder should make every effort to ensure that the validity of the power of attorney can be effectively verified. Information about the granting of power of attorney should include an exact designation of the attorney and principal (giving the full name, company, address, telephone number and email address of both of these persons or persons authorised to appear on their behalf). Information about the granting of power of attorney sent by email should also contain its scope, i.e. indicate the number of shares from which voting rights are to be executed, and the date and name of the General Meeting of “Barlinek” S.A. at which these rights are to be executed.

“Barlinek” S.A. will take appropriate measures to identify the shareholder and attorney, in order to verify the validity of the power of attorney granted electronically. This verification may, specifically, involve a question posed by telephone or email to the shareholder and attorney in order to confirm the fact that power of attorney has been granted, and in what scope. “Barlinek” S.A. will treat failure to reply to a question asked during the verification process as impossibility to verify the granting of power of attorney, and it will constitute grounds to refuse to admit the attorney to the General Meeting. Between arriving at the General Meeting and signing the attendance register, the attorney should present the original of the identity document mentioned in the letter of attorney, in order to confirm the attorney's identity.

The right to represent a shareholder who is not a natural person should arise from an extract from the appropriate register (submitting either the original or a copy attested by a public notary, legal adviser or lawyer) presented when the attendance register is being prepared.

The person or persons granting power of attorney on behalf of a shareholder who is not a natural person should be shown on the current extract from the register appropriate for the given shareholder (issued no earlier than 3 months before the date of the General Meeting), the original or scan (in the case of power of attorney granted electronically) of which will be attached to the letter of attorney.

If an attorney at the General Meeting of Shareholders is a member of “Barlinek” SA's Board of Management or Supervisory Board, a liquidator, employee or member of a body or employee of a subsidiary of “Barlinek” SA, the power of attorney may only entitle him/her to representation at one general meeting. The attorney is obliged to declare to the shareholder any circumstances which constitute or potentially constitute a conflict of interests. Further power of attorney cannot be granted. In this case the attorney votes according to the shareholder's instructions.
