The investors who will choose to be subscribed according to the aforementioned, must bind capitals equal to the total amount of the new shares which they wish to obtain, i.e the total amount of the shares which they are entitled to obtain, based on their preemption rights, as well as the total amount of the shares for which they will be subscribed. If, after the termination of the execution of the preemption rights period, there are still undisposed shares, the Board of Directors will distribute them to the investors who were subscribed according to the aforementioned. If the number of the undisposed shares is not sufficient for the demand of the subscribed investors, then they will be satisfied pro rata to the number of the undisposed shares for which they will have been subscribed and until the demand is fully satisfied. If, there are still undisposed shares after the termination of the execution of the preemption rights period and after the distribution by the Board of Directors of the undisposed shares to the subscribed investors, the Board of Directors shall be able, at its will, to distribute shares to any investor who announces his will to buy them (at the issuance price). In addition, EFG Eurobank Ergasias Bank has undertaken the obligation, by virtue of a subscription guarantee agreement, either to buy these shares (except for the new shares corresponding to the preemption rights of the main investors of the Bank, i.e of the companies ASPIS GROUP OF COMPANIES S.A., ASPIS PRONOIA AEGA, ASPIS CAPITAL S.A., Commercial Value S.A. and ASPIS PRONOIA AEAZ) or to/ and indicate other buyers. It is clarified that the Board of Directors maintains the discretion of distributing the undisposed shares, at its judgment.
