ΙΙ. PROCESS FOR THE VOTING THROUGH A REPRESENTATIVE

Shareholders may participate and vote in the General Meeting either in person or by proxy.

Each shareholder may appoint up to three (3) proxies and legal entities/shareholders may appoint up to three (3) natural persons as proxies. In cases where a shareholder owns shares of the Company that are held in more than one Investor Securities Account, the above limitation does not prevent the shareholder from appointing separate proxies for the shares appearing in each Account. A proxy who acts for more than one shareholder may cast votes differently for each shareholder.

The appointment and repeal of the shareholders' proxy is effected in writing and notified to the Company. The Company has made available in its offices at Moschato, 20 Makriyianni str, the forms to be used by the shareholders for the appointment of its proxy(ies).

No possibility is provided for participating and exercising the voting rights in the General Meeting by electronic means or post. The shareholder representative is obliged to notify the Company, before the start of the General Meeting, of any specific fact, which may be useful to shareholders in ascertaining the risk that the representative may serve interests, other than the interests of the shareholder.

A conflict of interest may arise in particular when the representative is:
