During the General Meeting, each Shareholder may submit draft resolutions concerning matters placed on the agenda.
A Shareholder may participate in the General Meeting and exercise voting rights in person or through a Proxy. Unless the power of proxy provides otherwise, the Proxy will exercise at the General Meeting all the rights accruing to the appointing Shareholder. The Proxy may grant further powers of proxy if permitted to do so under their power of proxy. One Proxy may represent more than one Shareholder and vote the shares of each Shareholder in a different manner. A Shareholder of a public company holding shares registered in more than one securities account may appoint separate Proxies to exercise rights attached to the shares registered in each of the accounts. A Shareholder not being a natural person may participate in the General Meeting and exercise voting rights through a person authorised to submit declarations of will on its behalf or through a Proxy. A power of proxy to participate in the General Meeting and exercise voting rights must be granted in written or electronic form.
Members of the Company’s Management Board and the Company’s employees may act as Shareholders’ Proxies at the General Meeting. If the person acting as a Proxy is a Management Board member, a Supervisory Board member, a liquidator, an employee of the Company, or a member of the governing bodies or an employee of the Company’s subsidiary company or cooperative, the relevant power of proxy may authorise such person to represent the Shareholder at one General Meeting only. The Proxy is obliged to disclose to the Shareholder any circumstances giving rise to an actual or potential conflict of interests. Granting further powers of proxy is not permitted.
Below is a description of the manner of notifying the Company’s Management Board of granting and revoking a power of proxy in electronic form and the method of verifying the validity of such power of proxy.
If a power of proxy is granted in electronic form, the Shareholder must notify the Company of the same by sending an e-mail to:
Relacje.Inwestorskie@intercars.eu. On its website at www.intercars.eu, under the Investor Relations – GM - 2013 tab, the Company provides a downloadable form of notification and granting of power of proxy in electronic form, which, once completed in line with the instructions contained therein, should be sent by the Shareholder to the Company to the above e-mail address. In the case of an institutional Shareholder or Shareholder being a legal or other person whose representation requires submission of relevant documents in accordance with their rules of representation, such documents must be attached to the power of proxy or the notification of granting a power of proxy in electronic form, in the form corresponding to the form of the power of proxy or notification (paper document or its copy, or a PDF scanned copy - as appropriate).
The notification of granting a power of proxy in electronic form must be made no later than 48 hours before the date set for the General Meeting due to the need to verify the information.
The validity of powers of proxy will be verified by:
- checking the completeness of the power of proxy documents, especially in the case of multiple powers of proxy,
- checking the correctness of data entered in the form and comparing it with the information contained in the list of persons entitled to participate in the General Meeting,
- checking the consistency of the scope of authorisation of persons granting the powers of proxy on behalf of legal entities with the relevant entries in the National Court Register,
- confirmation of data, and thus identification of the Shareholder or Shareholders, by e-mail or telephone if the power of proxy is granted in electronic form and the notification of granting the power of proxy is also sent in electronic form.
In order to check the validity of a power of proxy granted in electronic form and identify the Shareholder, the Company may request the Shareholder to send, in electronic form, a PDF scanned copy of the power of proxy or an image file containing a photography of the power of proxy. If there is any uncertainty or need for clarification, the Company may take other steps (which are reasonable given the objective pursued) to identify the Shareholder or Shareholders and check the validity of the submitted powers of proxy, notices and documents.
The Company will attach the powers of proxy in paper form (including printouts of electronic files) to the minutes of the General Meeting.
Pursuant to Art. 412.6, the rules set forth above apply accordingly to revocation of powers of proxy.
At the Shareholder’s request submitted at ul. Gdańska 15, Cząstków Mazowiecki, 05–152 Czosnów, the Company may provide a proxy vote form or a form of written voting instruction for the proxy, which will be sent to the Shareholder by mail, free of charge.
The above form, once filled in by the Shareholder granting the power of proxy, may serve as a voting card for the Proxy in the case of an open vote at the General Meeting - if the Shareholder has obliged the Proxy to use the form in such a way.
In the case of a secret vote, the filled-in form should be treated only as a written instruction for the Proxy on how to vote in the secret vote and should be retained by the Proxy.
If the Proxy votes using the form, he must deliver the form to the Chairman of the General Meeting prior to the end of voting on a resolution which - in accordance with the Shareholder’s instruction - was to be voted on using the form. The Chairperson of the General Meeting informs the Meeting that a vote has been cast using the form and the vote is then included in the counting of the total number of votes cast when voting on a given resolution.
The form used in a vote is attached to the book of minutes. If votes at the General Meeting are counted using electronic devices, the proxy vote form does not apply.
The Company’s by-laws do not permit participation in or voting at the General Meeting with the use of means of electronic communication and do not provide for voting at the General Meeting by postal ballot.
The date of registration for participation in the General Meeting is February 10th 2013 (“the Registration Date”).
Al information concerning the General Meeting, along with the documentation to be submitted to the General Meeting and draft resolutions, is available at the Company's website at: www.intercars.eu under the Investor Relations – GM - 2013 tab.
Comments of the Company’s Management Board or Supervisory Board concerning matters placed on the agenda of the General Meeting or matters to be placed on the agenda before the date of the General Meeting will be made available on the Company’s website as soon as they are prepared.
With respect to matters concerning the General Meeting, Shareholders may contact the Company at the following e-mail address: Relacje.Inwestorskie@intercars.eu (the risk related to using electronic mail is borne by the Shareholder), or by telephone at (+48 22) 714 19 16.
