Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders
General Meetings of Shareholders of ENEA S.A. are held on the basis of the Commercial Companies Code and the Statute of ENEA S.A. as well as the Regulations of the General Meeting of Shareholders.
New rules for convening and participating in general meetings of shareholders stem from an amendment of the Commercial Companies Code that came into force on 3 August 2009 as a result of the transposition of Directive 2007/36/EC of the European Parliament and Council of 11 July 2007 on the exercise of certain rights of shareholders in listed companies.
Pursuant to Article 4061 par. 1 of the Commercial Companies Code, persons who are shareholders of a company sixteen days before the date of an General Meeting of Shareholders (the day of registration of participation in the meeting) have the right to participate in the company’s general meeting of shareholders.
In order to ensure participation in the General Meeting of Shareholders, a shareholder whose entitlement stems from dematerialised bearer shares should demand – no earlier than after the announcement of the General Meeting of Shareholders and no later than on the first business day after the registration of participation – from the entity maintaining the securities market, an individual certificate of the right to participate in the General Meeting of Shareholders of ENEA S.A. Certificates of the right to participate in the General Meeting of Shareholders will be the basis for drawing up lists provided to the entity maintaining the securities depository pursuant to provisions on trading in financial instruments.
The list of shareholders entitled to participate in the General Meeting of Shareholders will be displayed at the Company’s registered office in Poznań at 8 Pastelowa street three business days before the date of the Meeting between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. in room 423. A request may be submitted in electronic form to wz@enea.pl.
A shareholder may participate in the General Meeting of Shareholders of ENEA S.A. and exercise voting rights in person or by proxy. Proxies of legal persons must present current copies of appropriate registers that list the persons entitled to represent these entities.
A proxy may exercise all of the shareholder’s rights at the General Meeting of Shareholders of ENEA S.A., unless the proxy statement states otherwise. A proxy may grant further proxies, if so entitled by the proxy statement. A proxy may represent more than one shareholder and vote differently under the shares of each of those shareholders. A shareholder who has shares recorded on more than one securities account will be able to establish separate proxies to execute rights attached to the shares on each of these accounts.
A proxy statement authorising participation in the General Meeting of Shareholders of ENEA S.A. and the exercising of voting rights must be granted in writing or in electronic form. From the day of publication of this announcement on its website, the Company will provide, for download, a form containing a specimen proxy statement in electronic form. The Company must be notified by means of electronic communication regarding the granting of a proxy in electronic form. A shareholder must send, together with the notice regarding the granting of a proxy, a scan of the proxy statement and a scan of the ID card, passport or other document making it possible to identify the shareholder as the principal and to identify the proxy. If the proxy is granted by a legal person (within the meaning of Article 33 of the Civil Code) or an organisational unit (within the meaning of Article 331 of the Civil Code), the shareholder as the principal must also send a scan of an extract from the register in which the principal is registered. If the proxy is granted by a legal person or an organisational unit (within the meaning of Article 331 of the Civil Code), the shareholder as the principal must also send a scan of an extract from the register in which the principal is registered. Documents provided by electronic means that have not been prepared in Polish must be translated into Polish by a sworn translator. All the above-mentioned documents must be sent to wz@enea.pl. A shareholder sending a notice about the granting of a proxy must at the same time provide the Company with an email address, by the use of which the Company will be able to communicate with the shareholder and its proxy. The Company may take appropriate steps to identify the shareholder and the proxy. Verification may in particular consist of a request for confirmation by telephone or email from the shareholder and proxy in order to confirm the granting of the proxy.
The principles for notices regarding proxies and the identification of proxies and principals apply as appropriate to notifying the Company regarding the cancellation of a proxy. Notices regarding the granting and cancellation of proxies that do not conform to the requirements indicated above will not produce legal consequences with regard to the Company.
The choice of the method of granting a proxy is up to the shareholder, and the Company will bear no liability for errors in filling out the proxy form or the actions of persons acting pursuant to proxy statements. The provision of the above documents by electronic means does not waive the obligation for the proxy to present, during the preparation of the attendance list of persons authorised to participate in the General Meeting of Shareholders of ENEA S.A., documents allowing him/her to be identified.
A shareholder or shareholders of the Company representing no less than one-twentieth of the share capital are entitled to request the placement of particular matters on the agenda of the General Meeting of Shareholders of ENEA S.A..
