____________________________

NOTES

The following notes explain the general rights of Shareholders and Depositary Interest Holders and the rights to attend and vote at the Meeting of Shareholders or to appoint someone else to vote on their behalf.

Holders of Shares in certificated form

 

1. All holders (the “Shareholders”) of shares in the Company (the “Shares”) have the right to attend, speak and vote at the Meeting. A Shareholder is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any of his or her rights to attend and to speak and vote in his or her place. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company. Entitlement to attend and vote at the Meeting, and the number of votes which may be cast at the Meeting, will be determined by reference to the Company’s register of members at 10:00am Cyprus Time on 30 June 2023 or, if the Meeting is adjourned, 48 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned Meeting (as the case may be).

 

2. Registered Shareholders holding shares in certificated form should complete the form of proxy provided with the Notice of Meeting (the “Form of Proxy”). The Form of Proxy must be deposited in hard copy form by courier or by hand at the Company’s registered office at Arch. Makariou III, 155, PROTEAS HOUSE, floor 5, 3026, Limassol, Cyprus or by email to CorporateSecretary@fix-price.com no later than 9:00am Cyprus Time on 25 July 2023 or, if the Meeting is adjourned, 48 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned Meeting (as the case may be).

 

3. The Form of Proxy must be signed and dated by the Shareholder or his/her attorney duly authorised in writing. If Shares in the Company are held by a nominee(s), a form(s) of proxy must be completed and signed by the nominee(s). If the Shareholder is a company, it may execute under its common seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney so authorised. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the Form of Proxy is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the Form of Proxy.

 

4. When two or more valid but differing appointments of proxy are delivered or received for the same Share for use at the same Meeting, the one which is last validly delivered or received (regardless of its date or the date of its execution) shall be treated as replacing and revoking the other or others as regards that share. If the Company is unable to determine which appointment was last validly delivered or received, none of them shall be treated as valid in respect of that Share.

 

Depositary Interest Holders

1 Holders (“Depositary Interest Holders”) of depositary interests in the Shares (“Depositary Interests”) may vote as follows, in each case by no later than 12:00 pm EST on 25 July 2023 or, if the Meeting is adjourned, 72 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned Meeting (as the case may be):

 

1. in the case of Rule 144A Depositary Interest Holders, using the form of instruction provided with the Notice of Meeting (the “Form of Instruction”) and instructing their brokers to submit it to Mediant Communications Inc. by email to voteadr@mediantonline.com; and

 

2. in the case of Regulation S Depositary Interest Holders, by following the procedures described in the CREST manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members (and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s)) should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting services provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

 

2. In order for an instruction made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a “CREST Voting Instruction”) must be properly authenticated in accordance with the specifications of Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited (“Euroclear”) and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual (available via https://my.euroclear.com/eui/en/reference/public/legal-information/legal-basics.html). The message, regardless of whether it relates to the appointment of a proxy, or to an amendment to an instruction given to a previously appointed proxy, in order to be valid, must be transmitted as instructed by Euroclear. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the CREST Voting Instruction by the CREST applications host) from which the issuer’s agent is able to retrieve the CREST Voting Instruction by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST.

 

3. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the transmission of CREST Voting Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that the CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a CREST Voting Instruction is transmitted by means of the CREST service by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

 

4. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Voting Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

 

5. Should a Depositary Interest Holder have any questions regarding the applicable voting procedures they should contact the Depositary at olena.smirnova@bnymellon.com and adrproxy@bnymellon.com.

Attendance at the Meeting

1. The Board has determined pursuant to article 22.12 of the Company’s Articles of Association that it is prudent for the health and safety of the participants that physical attendance at the extraordinary general meeting not be permitted. Shareholders are encouraged to vote by proxy in accordance with the instructions above.

 

2. Any Shareholder (or proxy who is not the Chairman of the Meeting) who wishes to attend the Meeting via electronic means (namely Zoom video conference) should complete and return the registration form at Appendix A of the Circular in accordance with the instructions therein no later than 9:00am Cyprus Time on 25 July 2023 (or not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding an adjourned Meeting) in order to receive the relevant Zoom login details and instructions for joining the Meeting.

General

1. Any corporation which is a Shareholder may by resolution of its directors or other governing body or officers authorised by such body authorise such person or persons as it thinks fit to act as its representative at the Meeting. Any person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise on behalf of the corporation which he represents the same powers as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual Shareholder.

 

2. The instrument appointing a proxy and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of such power or authority shall be delivered to the Company’s registered office at Arch. Makariou III, 155, PROTEAS HOUSE, floor 5, 3026, Limassol, Cyprus not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the Meeting (the time appointed for holding the Meeting being 10:00am Cyprus Time on 31 July 2023) or not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding an adjourned Meeting of Shareholders at which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote.

 

3. Depositary’s deadline to receive voting instructions from Proxy Participants (banks and brokers) is set for 12 pm EST on July 25, 2023. Each shareholder should reach out to their respective brokers and custodians to inquire regarding their own deadline.
