FP shall not request that the documents attesting the shareholder's legal representative capacity be legalized or apostilled.

The documents with respect to the quality of the shareholder above-mentioned will not be necessary, if the general power of attorney is signed by that respective shareholder, and the proxy (intermediary/attorney at law) issues a declaration confirming that:

a) the shareholder is a client of the proxy;

b) the general power of attorney is signed by that respective shareholder (ink signed or through an extended electronic signature, as the case may be).

The said declaration must be submitted in original at FP (in the same time with the general power of attorney and at the same coordinates as indicated in this convening notice) signed and stamped (if the case) by the intermediary/attorney at law (without other criteria being necessary as pertaining with its form).

The general power of attorney forms for EGM/OGM shall be made available to the shareholders by the Company starting from 18 February 2019 at the same coordinates and under the same conditions as the information materials. The Company does not impose the use of the said forms.

Vote by correspondence using the forms for voting by correspondence

The vote of the shareholders at the EGM /OGM can also be expressed by correspondence, by duly filling in and signing the forms for the vote by correspondence.

The ballots by correspondence will be sent either (i) in original, personally, by representative or by any form of courier service with proof of delivery, to the Company's headquarters in Bucharest, 78-80 Buzeşti St., 7th floor, 1st District, postal code 011017, Romania or (ii) by e-mail with the extended electronic signature incorporated in accordance with Law no. 455/2001 on the electronic signature at office@fondulproprietatea.ro, so that they are received by the Company by 2 April 2019, 11:00 o'clock (Romanian time).

Documents accompanying ballot papers:

a) for natural person shareholders - copy of identity card, allowing for identification thereof in the list of Company's shareholders on the Reference Date issued by Depozitarul Central SA and, if such be the case, a copy of the identity card of the legal representative (in the case of natural persons lacking exercise capacity or with limited exercise capacity) (identity document or identity card for Romanian citizens or passport for foreign citizens) along with the proof of legal representative capacity;

b) in case of collective natural person shareholders by observing the provisions described by the Procedure regarding the organization and holding of General Meetings of Shareholders, available starting with 18 February 2019 on the Company's website (Special conditions regarding collective natural person shareholders);

c) for legal entity shareholders:

§ original or true copy of the findings certificate issued by the Trade Registry (in Romanian "certificat constatator") or any other document, in original or true copy, issued by a competent authority of the state where the shareholder is duly incorporated, all being no older than 12 months as from the date of the general meeting convening notice, allowing for the identification thereof in the Company's list of shareholders on the Reference Date issued by Depozitarul Central SA;

§ the capacity of shareholder's legal representative shall be taken from the Shareholders' Registry issued by Depozitarul Central SA at the Reference Date; however, if the shareholder did not inform in a timely manner Depozitarul Central SA of its legal representative (so that the shareholders' registry at the Reference Date reflect that), then the findings certificate/similar documents mentioned above must comprise the capacity of legal representative; for the Ministry of Public Finance the capacity of legal representative shall be proven by the appointment decree issued by the President of Romania - to this purpose, a copy of the Official Gazette in which the appointment decree was published or an excerpt of the law programme shall be provided.

Documents in a foreign language (except for identity cards valid on the territory of Romania, in Latin characters) will be accompanied by their translation into Romanian or English, save for the documents attesting the legal representative drafted in a language other than English which shall be accompanied by their translation into Romanian or English performed by a certified translator. The Company shall not request that the documents attesting the legal representative capacity be notarised or apostilled.

The form of the vote by correspondence ballot:

a) shall be made available to the shareholders by the Company starting with 18 February 2019 at the same coordinates and under the same conditions as the information materials and the forms for the special powers of attorney;

b) shall be updated by the Company if new items are added to the EGM/OGM agenda and shall be published on the Company's website in its updated form.

If a shareholder voted by sending a ballot paper by correspondence, but then attends the EGM/OGM either personally or through a proxy (provided a special/general power of attorney has been submitted under the conditions above-mentioned), the correspondence vote shall be annulled and only the direct or the vote expressed through the proxy shall be taken into consideration. If the person representing the shareholder at the general shareholders' meeting is other than the person who expressed the correspondence vote, then for its validity, the proxy must present at the general meeting a written revocation of the correspondence vote, signed by the shareholder or by the representative who expressed the correspondence vote. This will not be applicable if the shareholder or its legal representative is present at the general meeting. The general procedure for the organisation of general meetings (which shall be available at the same coordinates and in the same conditions as the information materials) details the procedure allowing both the vote by representative with special/general power of attorney, vote through a custodian bank and the vote by correspondence, and the shareholders must comply with the said procedure. Special/General powers of attorney and ballots for voting by correspondence must be signed by all the natural person collective shareholders or their legal representatives (in the case of natural persons lacking exercise capacity or with limited exercise capacity), who shall assume both their capacity (proven by means of evidentiary documents attached to the special/general power of attorney/ballot) and the signature authenticity.

The checking and validation of the special/general powers of attorney submitted, as well as the centralization, checking, validation, and records of the votes by correspondence shall be performed by a commission established within the Company, whose members shall safely keep these documents, as well as the confidentiality of the votes thus expressed. Powers of attorney shall also be checked by the EGM/OGM secretary. In the event that the agenda is supplemented, and the shareholders fail to send the updated special powers of attorney and/or ballots for voting by correspondence, the special powers of attorney and ballots sent prior to the supplementation of the agenda shall be considered only with reference to the items therein which are also found on the supplemented agenda. All discussions held during the EGM/OGM are audio recorded. If participants want to obtain a copy of the recordings, they will be available at the FP registered office, in exchange for a fee (the cost will not exceed the value of expenses incurred by FP in relation to transferring the audio recording to material support), within 15 days after the EGM/OGM date. Additional information may be obtained from the Department for Shareholders' Relations at the telephone number + 40 21 200 96 28 (or through reception at + 40 21 200 9600; fax: +40 21 200 9631; e-mail: office@fondulproprietatea.ro) and on the Company's website: www.fondulproprietatea.ro.
