Dear Shareholders and GDR Holders,

This letter provides details of the business to be transacted at the AGM. The Notice convening the AGM is set out at the end of this document.

 

Any resolution put to a vote at the AGM shall be decided upon a show of hands unless a poll is validly demanded pursuant to the articles of association of the Company. On a show of hands every Shareholder present in person or being a corporation present by a duly authorised representative is entitled to one vote irrespective of the number of Ordinary Shares held by such Shareholder. On a poll, all holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote for each Ordinary Share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the Shareholders. The Shareholders do not have any special voting rights. A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is also entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and, on a poll, vote instead of him/her. A proxy cannot vote on a show of hands. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company.

 

To be valid a Form of Proxy, together with a power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is executed or a notarially certified copy thereof, must be delivered personally or by courier or by post at the registered office of the Company situated at the address set out above or be sent by fax                                  at +357 25 37 30 75, to the attention of Confitrust Limited, Secretary of the Company, or by email at mouaimis@mouaimis.com.cy, not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the AGM or adjourned AGM (see section 4: "Action Required" below).

 

GDR Holders may vote by completing, signing and returning a Voting Instruction Form, which will be provided to them by the Bank of New York Mellon. The deadline to submit the Voting Instruction Form will be set out in the notice provided by the Bank of New York Mellon. By returning a signed Voting Instruction Form, the GDR Holder is directing the Bank of New York Mellon to vote on the Ordinary Share(s) underlying his GDRs in accordance with his instructions. Each GDR represents one Ordinary Share.
