6. Exercising voting rights by proxy

A shareholder may participate in the General Meeting of CCC S.A. and exercise voting rights in person or by proxy.

The power of attorney to vote should be given in writing or in electronic form. Granting proxy in electronic form does not require a secure electronic signature verified by a valid qualified certificate.

A shareholder is obliged to send information on granting power of attorney in electronic form to the Company at [email protected]. Information on the granting of a power of attorney in electronic form must be accompanied by a scanned power of attorney granted on a form made available by the Company (or drawn up by the Shareholder, containing at least the same data and information), and in the case of a Shareholder other than a natural person - confirmation of the authority to act on behalf of another entity by attaching a current excerpt from the relevant register or other document confirming the authority of the natural person(s) to represent the Shareholder at the General Assembly.

If a proxy is granted to a further proxy, a continuous chain of proxies must be submitted together with documents indicating the authority to act on behalf of the earlier proxies. The rules described above do not exempt the proxy from the obligation to present, when preparing the attendance list of persons entitled to attend the General Meeting, documents for his/her identification.

Forms allowing the exercise of voting rights by proxy are available on the Company's website https://corporate.ccc.eu. The Company does not impose an obligation to grant a power of attorney on the form made available.

At the same time, the Management Board of the Company announces that if a shareholder grants a power of attorney together with a voting instruction, the Company will not verify whether the proxies exercise the voting right in accordance with the instructions which they received from the shareholders. Therefore, the Management Board of the Company announces that the voting instruction should only be given to the proxy.

7. Exercise of voting rights by correspondence

Shareholders may cast their vote at the General Meeting by means of forms announced on the Company's website https://corporate.ccc.eu or at any other place indicated by the Company.

A vote cast by correspondence in a form other than the form made available by the Company is invalid.

Votes cast by correspondence must be sent to the Company's registered address in a double envelope, the second envelope to be marked: EGM - 31.08.2023.

Votes cast by correspondence received by the Company no later than the time the voting at the General Meeting is ordered shall be taken into account in calculating the quorum and the results of the voting.

A Shareholder's vote cast by correspondence is invalid if the resolution is adopted in a form other than the draft resolution contained in the form sent by the Shareholder.

Votes cast by correspondence are open from the moment the results of voting are announced.

Votes by correspondence may also relate to matters on which voting by secret ballot is ordered. In such a case, casting a vote by correspondence is equivalent to the Shareholder's consent to waive the secrecy of that vote.

Lodging an objection by correspondence shall be tantamount to filing a request for recording the objection by a Shareholder present at the General Meeting and shall entitle to challenge the resolution of the General Meeting.

A Shareholder who casts a vote by correspondence loses the right to cast a vote at the General Meeting. A vote cast by correspondence may, however, be revoked by a statement submitted to the Company not later than one hour before the General Meeting.
