  1. Exercise of voting rights by proxy

A shareholder may participate in the General Meeting of CCC S.A. and exercise the right to vote in person or by proxies.

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

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

If the power of attorney is granted to the other proxy, a continuous sequence of powers of attorney must be submitted, together with documents indicating the authorization to act on behalf of the previous attorneys. The principles described above do not release the proxy from the obligation to present the documents used to identify the proxy when drawing up the list of attendance of persons authorized to participate in the General Meeting.

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

At the same time, the Company's Management Board informs that in case of granting by a shareholder a power of attorney together with a voting instruction, the Company will not verify whether the attorneys exercise their voting rights in accordance with the instructions they received from the shareholders. In connection with the above, the Company's Management Board informs that the voting instruction should be given only to the proxy.

  1. Exercising voting rights by correspondence

Shareholders may cast their votes at the General Meeting using the forms published on the Company's website https://corporate.ccc.eu or in 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 should be sent to the Company's registered office address in a double envelope, where the second one should be described: GMS - 22.06.2021. When calculating the quorum and the results of voting, the votes cast by correspondence are taken into account, which the Company received not later than at the time of ordering the vote at the General Meeting.

The Shareholder's vote cast by correspondence is invalid if the resolution was adopted in a different form than the draft resolution included in the form sent by the Shareholder.

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

Correspondence votes may also be held on matters for which a secret ballot is ordered.  In such a case, casting a vote by correspondence is equivalent to the shareholder's consent to revoke the secrecy of that vote.

Lodging an objection by mail is tantamount to a request to record the objection by a Shareholder present at the General Meeting and entitles to challenge the resolution of the General Meeting.

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