A) Voting through Custodians
A shareholder may delegate their custodian to attend the meetings, and the custodian will obtain the respective shareholder's vote after securing the shares blocking certificates.
The custodian will be required to send an electronic copy from the shares blocking certificates and other supporting documents including a proxy or an authorization from the respective shareholder to PHD's Investor Relations Department on the following email: investor.relations@phdint.com or WhatsApp on the following mobile number: +21012227622.

B) Voting through Audio Communications
A shareholder can vote on the meetings' agenda by sending a copy from their Identification, shares blocking certificate, power of attorney and other forms of authorizations. A shareholder may not delegate non-shareholders or members of the Board of Directors to attend the meetings. An electronic copy from the documentation should be sent to the Company using the above-mentioned email address or mobile number.
A shareholder may vote by joining the conference call and using the dial in details announced by the Company on March 22, 2020.
The Company is committed to ensuring that members of the Board of Directors and all shareholders will be able to vote on the meetings' agenda, in accordance with the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones ("GAFI") decision number 160 dated March 18, 2020, via recording shareholders' votes on the OGM & EGM agenda by following virtual methods of participation, which will be conducted using audio means of communication at the Company's headquarters and in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
Palm Hills Development would like to ensure the safety of all shareholders and members of the Board of Directors, until Egypt can navigate through the challenging circumstances that followed the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The Company is keen to preserve the rights of all shareholders with regards to voting on the meetings' agenda, due to the cancellation of all procedures that used to take place during physical shareholders meetings similar to previous periods.
