Only the shareholder recorded with the Dematerialized Securities System managed by “Hellenic Central Securities Depository” (ATHEXCSD), where the transferable securities (shares) of the Company are registered, has the right to participate and vote in the General Meeting.
The proof of the shareholding status is made by any legitimate means, however, on the basis of information received by the Company from the central repository of securities if it provides registry services or through the participants and registered intermediaries in the central repository of securities in any other case. The qualification as a shareholder must be in force on the beginning of 25.08.2022 (Record Date) that is, of the fifth (5th) day before the day of session of the General Meeting on 30.08.2022 and only those who are shareholders upon that specific date have the right to participate and vote at the General Meeting.
Shareholders, not having complied with the provisions of par. 4 of article 128 of L.4548/2018 as it applies, may only attend the General Meeting unless the General Meeting denies this participation because of an important cause which justifies its denial.
B. Final dates for exercising Minority Shareholders’ Rights pursuant to par. 2, 3, 6 and 7 of article 141 of the Law 4548/2018.

C. Procedure for voting by proxy Each shareholder participates in the General Meeting and vote either in person or by proxy. A proxy acting as a delegate for more than one shareholder may vote in a different manner for each shareholder. A shareholder may appoint a proxy for a single General Meeting or for any General Meeting that may occur within a specified period of time. The proxy votes according to the shareholder’s instructions, if any, and is obligated to maintain a record of voting instructions for at least one (1) year as from the General Meeting’s date. Failure of the proxy to comply with the instructions he has received, does not affect the status of the General Meeting’s resolutions, even if the delegate’s vote was instrumental for the majority’s attainment. A shareholder’s proxy is obligated to inform the Company, prior to the beginning of the session of the General Meeting, of any specific event, which may be useful to shareholders to evaluate the risk of the proxy serving interests other than the shareholder's interests. Conflict of interest may result when the proxy: a) is shareholder exercising control over the Company or is another legal person or entity controlled by such shareholder, or b) is a member of the Board of Directors or of the Company's management or of a shareholder exercising control over the Company or other legal person or entity controlled by the shareholder who exercises control on the Company, or c) is employee or auditor of the Company or shareholder exercising control on the Company or other legal person or entity controlled by a shareholder, who exercises control on the Company, or d) is spouse or first degree relative to one of the natural persons mentioned above under cases a' to c'. The appointment and the revocation of a shareholder’s proxy is made in writing and is notified to the Company in the same manner, at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the date of session of the General Meeting. Each shareholder may appoint up to three (3) proxies. However, if a shareholder holds Company shares appearing in more than one securities’ accounts, this restriction does not prevent the shareholder from appointing separate proxies for shares appearing in each securities’ account as regards the General Meeting. The Company makes available on its website (www.intralot.com) the form to be used for appointing a proxy. The shareholder should submit this form completed and signed, to the Shareholder Services Department of the Company, at the address: 19km Markopoulou Ave., Peania Attica or fax it to: +30 2106106800, at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the date of the General Meeting. The beneficiary is kindly requested to confirm that the proxy’s appointment form is successfully dispatched and received by the Company and, for this purpose, to contact the company at the telephone nr: +30 2130397000 (Shareholder Services Department). The Company's Articles of Association does not foresee the possibility of participation of the shareholders in the General Meeting by electronic means, without the physical presence of shareholders at its premise or the distance participation of shareholders in the voting process either by electronic means or via post, and may not appoint or recall a proxy by electronic means.
