The shareholder participates in the Ordinary General Meeting of the company and votes either in person or through representatives. Provisions of the articles of association, which limit either the exercise of shareholder rights by representatives or the eligibility of persons who may be appointed as representatives, are not valid. Each shareholder may appoint up to three (3) representatives. However, if the shareholder holds shares of the company, which appear in more than one securities account, this limitation does not prevent the shareholder from appointing different representatives for the shares appearing in each securities account in relation to the Ordinary General Meeting. A representative acting for more than one shareholder may vote differently for each shareholder. Legal entities participate in the general meeting by appointing up to three (3) natural persons as their representatives. The shareholder may appoint a proxy for a single general meeting or for as many meetings as may take place within a certain period. The proxy votes in accordance with the shareholder's instructions, if any, and is required to archive the voting instructions for at least one (1) year from the submission of the minutes of the general meeting to the public authority, or if the decision is submitted to the public from its registration in the Registrar of Companies. The shareholder's proxy is required to notify the company, before the beginning of the Ordinary General Meeting, of any specific fact that may be useful to the shareholders in assessing the risk that the proxy may serve interests other than those of the shareholder. A conflict of interest may arise in particular when the representative: a) is a shareholder exercising control of the company or another legal person or entity controlled by that shareholder, b) is a member of the board of directors or the general management of the company or shareholder exercising control of the company, or another legal person or entity controlled by a shareholder exercising control of the company, c) is an employee or a certified auditor of the company or shareholder exercising control of the company, or another legal person or entity controlled by a shareholder exercising control of the company, d) is a spouse or first-degree relative of one of the natural persons referred to in cases a' to c'.
