To this end, the intermediary must, upon the shareholder's request, immediately issue the appropriate proof without delay.

Shareholders who do not register their participation within the announced period cannot attend the assembly and thus cannot exercise their voting rights.

Shareholders exercise their rights at the assembly in person or by proxy.

The authorization must be in written form. The authorization must be submitted to the company and remains stored there.

The request must be sent to the company no later than seven days after the assembly notice is published. The date of the assembly notice publication is considered the date when the announcement was posted on the AJPES website.

Shareholders may submit written proposals for resolutions for each agenda item. The shareholder's proposal is published and communicated in the same manner as the assembly notice, provided that the shareholder has sent the company a reasonably justified proposal within seven days after the assembly notice is published, stating that they will oppose the proposal of the management or supervisory body at the assembly and persuade other shareholders to vote for their proposal.

Materials for the assembly meeting with justified proposals for resolutions, explanations for each agenda item, the approved annual report, the supervisory board report, and other reports, materials, and information are available to shareholders at the company’s headquarters, Mariborska cesta 7 in Celje, every working day from 9:00 to 12:00 in the secretariat from the date of the assembly notice publication until the assembly meeting day, inclusive.
