Legal persons participate in the General Meeting by appointing as their proxies up to three (3) physical entities. However, if the shareholder holds shares of the Company in more than one securities account, this constraint does not prevent the said shareholder from appointing different proxies as regards the shares held in each securities account with respect to the General Meeting. A proxy who acts on behalf of more than one shareholder may cast vote differently on behalf of each shareholder.

The shareholder's proxy is obliged to notify the Company before the start of the convention of the Extraordinary General Meeting of any particular event that may be helpful for the shareholders to assess the risk that the proxy may serve interests other than those of the represented shareholder. Within the meaning of this paragraph, there may be conflict of interests especially if the proxy is:

a) shareholder who exercises control of the Company or other legal entity or entity controlled by that shareholder,

b) member of the Board of Directors or the general management of the Company or shareholder who exercises control of the Company, or other legal person or entity controlled by a shareholder who exercises control of the Company,

c) employee or certified auditor of the Company or shareholder who exercises control of the Company, or other legal person or entity controlled by a shareholder who exercises control of the Company,

d) spouse or first degree relative of one of the physical entities mentioned in the above cases (a) up to (c).

The appointment and revocation of the shareholder's proxy are done in writing and are communicated to the Company with the same formal validity, at least three (3) days before the convention date of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The Company has made available on its legally registered website (www.thracegroup.gr) the form used for the appointment of proxy. The said form is submitted complete and signed by the shareholder of the Company's Shareholders' Department, or is sent by fax to the said Department (fax number: +30 210 9875040) at least three (3) days before the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting.
