Board of Directors' attendance in shareholders' meeting

Shareholders' Meeting is considered very important and the directors will normally attend such a meeting, which is usually chaired by the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Queries and comments from the shareholders, voting, and minutes of the meeting

At a shareholders' meeting, the Company shall explain to shareholders voting and vote-count procedures prior to the meeting. During the meeting every shareholder is offered an opportunity to make comments and ask questions on a fair basis. In voting, one share is represented by one vote and the resolution is passed by majority of votes. In the event of a tie, the chair shall have a second and casting vote. The Company shall record the resolutions passed at each meeting, clearly indicating the "yes," "no," and "abstain" votes in the minutes of the meeting, together with the details of questions, answers and comments raised during the meeting. A shareholder who has an interest in a matter being considered shall refrain from voting, except in the vote to appoint or remove a director.

The annual dividend payment must be approved at a shareholders meeting. Dividends can be paid to shareholders only when the Company has earned profit from its operation and registered no accumulated losses. The dividend amount is divided equally by the number of Company shares. In case the Company has earned profit from its operation enough to pay dividend, from time to time the Board may consider interim dividend payment and inform shareholders in the next shareholders' meeting. The residual amount of annual dividend payment or interim payment shall be allocate to reserves and is subject to justifications and considerations that the Board of Directors deems appropriate. The payment of dividends shall be made within one month of the date of the shareholders' resolution, or one month of the date of the Board of Directors' resolution in case of interim dividend payment. The shareholders will be informed in writing of the dividend payment, which will also be announced in a newspaper.

The Shareholders' Meeting will appoint the Company's external auditors and also fix the audit fee, proposed by the Board of Directors. The Company's auditors shall not be a director, officer or employee of the Company.
