According to article 121 paragraph 4 of the L. 4548/2018, the Board of Directors informs the Company's shareholders of the following:

 

  1. THE RIGHT TO ATTEND THE GENERAL MEETING AND THE RIGHT TO VOTE.

    Whoever appears to be a shareholder of the Company in the registry of Dematerialised Securities System (D.S.S.), which is managed by “Hellenic Exchanges S.A.” (“HELEX”), where the company's securities (shares) are kept, has the right to attend the Regular General Meeting on 1st September 2020  and exercise his right to vote. The capacity of the shareholder is proved by a relevant written certificate by the aforementioned authority or, alternatively, by a direct electronic linkup of the Company with the records of the aforementioned authority.

    The shareholder's capacity must exist on 27th August 2020 (“Record Date”), i.e. on the beginning of the fifth (5th) day prior to the Regular General Meeting of 1st September 2020 and the relevant written or electronic certificate about the shareholder's capacity must be received by the company at least three (3) days prior to the Regular General Meeting, as provided for by article 124 paragraph 6 of the L. 4548/2018.

    In relation to the possible Repeat General Meeting of 9th September 2020, the shareholder's capacity must also exist at the beginning of 27th August 2020  (“Record Date”), i.e. the fifth (5th) day prior to the date of the General Meeting (article 124 paragraph 6 of the L. 4548/2018), taking into consideration that the day of the repeat meeting is not further than thirty (30) days from the initial date.

    It is considered by the Company that the right to attend and vote for the Regular General Meeting is acquired only by the person who has the shareholder's capacity on the relevant Record Date.

    In case of no compliance with the provisions of article 124 paragraph 6 of the L. 4548/2018 as in effect, the shareholder in question attends the Regular General Meeting only if the General Meeting allows it.

    It is noted that the exercise of the aforementioned rights (right to attend and right to vote) does not require the block of the shareholder's shares nor the compliance with any other relevant procedure, which limits the ability to sell or transfer shares for the time period between the Record Date and the date of the Regular General Meeting.

      

    B. PROCEDURE FOR THE ATTENDANCE AND VOTING THROUGH PROXIES.

    Every shareholder attends the Regular General Meeting and votes either in person or through proxies. Each shareholder may appoint up to three (3) proxies. Legal entities participate in the Regular General Meeting by appointing up to three (3) persons as their representatives. However, if the shareholder holds Company's shares that appear in more than one securities' accounts, this limitation does not prevent the shareholder in question from appointing different proxies for the shares that appear in each securities account in relation to the Regular General Meeting. A proxy that acts for more shareholders may vote differently for every shareholder.

    The Proxy shall vote in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder, if any, and shall be required to file the voting instructions for at least one (1) year from the submission of the Minutes of General Meeting to the competent Authority or, if the Decision is made public, upon its registration to the Societe Anonyme Registry. Non-compliance of the Proxy with the received instructions does not affect the validity of the decisions of the General Meeting, even if the Proxy's vote was decisive in taking them. The provisions of Article 128 paragraphs 4 and 5 of Law 4548/2018 apply to the appointment and revocation or replacement of the proxy and the obligations of the shareholder's proxy.

    The Company's Articles of Association do not provide for the possibility of the shareholders' attendance of the Regular General Meeting through electronic means, without their natural presence at the place of the General Meeting, nor does it provide for the possibility of distance voting either through electronic means or through mail, and it also does not provide for the possibility of appointing and recalling a proxy through electronic means as provided for by article 125 of the Law 4548/2018.

    Authorization granting forms for the appointment of a proxy will be available for the shareholders:

    a) in written form at the company's offices (1 Sarantaporou  Street, Maroussi, 1st  Floor, tel. 2106862454) and

    b) in electronic form on the Company's website (www.iatriko.gr).

    The aforementioned form, completed and signed, must be submitted to the Company, at the address mentioned under (a) or must be sent by fax to the number 210-6108403, at least two (2) days prior to the Regular General Meeting.

    The proxy is obliged to disclose to the Company before the commencement of the Regular General Meeting every specific fact, which could be useful to shareholders in order to evaluate the risk of the proxy serving interests other than the shareholder's interests.

    Conflict of interest may arise mainly in cases when the proxy is: a) a shareholder that exercises the control of the Company or another legal entity or an entity controlled by that shareholder, b) a member of the Board of Directors or of the general management team of the Company or of a shareholder controlling the Company, or of another legal entity or of an entity controlled by a shareholder controlling the Company, c) an employee or certified auditor of the Company or of a shareholder controlling the Company, or of another legal entity or of an entity controlled by a shareholder controlling the Company d) the spouse or a relative of first degree of one of the persons mentioned in cases (a) to (c).
