By means of the Chairman of the Board, the Board of Directors may authorise the attendance of persons that render services at or to the Company, and may grant such persons the right to speak when so deemed necessary to the best development of the General Meeting. The Chairman may additionally authorise the attendance of any other person that he/she so deems necessary, although the General Meeting may revoke such authorisation.

Where can I find information on the items to be discussed at the next General Shareholders’ Meeting? [up]

•  As of the publication of the summons notice to the General Meeting for the approval of the annual accounts, any shareholder may immediately obtain from the Company at its registered offices a free copy of the annual accounts, the management report and the auditor’s report of accounts, whether as individual or, where appropriate, consolidated. The aforementioned documents will become available to shareholders at the Company website as of the date of publication of the summons notice, and will remain available at least until the date that such Meeting is held for their approval.

•  As of the date of publication of the summons notice of the Ordinary or Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting, the shareholders may examine at the registered offices of the Company the proposed resolutions, reports and all other documents whose availability is required by Law and set forth in the Articles of Association. Such documents will also be available to the Shareholders at the Company website as of the date set forth hereinabove therefor, even though, moreover, in cases in which it is legally necessary, the Shareholders may request the delivery or dispatch free of charge, of the full text of the aforementioned available documents.

•  Until the seventh day prior to the planned date for the Meeting, the shareholders may request from the directors any information or clarifications relating to the Agenda items that they so deem necessary or ask any questions that they consider to be relevant thereto. Moreover, they may request information or explanations or ask questions in writing regarding any information available to the public that the Company has given to the CNVM (Spanish Securities and Exchange Commission) since the date of the last General Meeting.

The directors shall in writing provide the foregoing requested information described in the preceding paragraph until the day that the General Meeting is held.

•  During the General Meeting the Shareholders may verbally request any information or explanations that they deem necessary relating to the items set forth in the Meeting Agenda, and in the event that it is impossible to meet the shareholder’s right at that time, the directors shall provide such information in writing within the seven days subsequent to the adjournment of the General Meeting.

•  The directors shall fulfil their duty to provide the shareholders with the requested information described in sections 3 and 4 hereinabove, which they may undertake by means of Company management personnel, with the exception of cases in which the Chairman deems the circulation of such requested information to be detrimental to the interests of the Company. Such denial of information will be inapplicable when such request is supported by a number of shareholders representing at least one fourth of the share capital.

How could I be represented at the Meeting?[up]

All Shareholders entitled to attend may delegate their representation at the General Shareholders’ Meeting to another person, regardless of whether or not such person is a shareholder.

Representation must be granted in writing or by way of remote communication means that duly guarantee the identity of the shareholder to be represented, and is specific to each Meeting, notwithstanding that set forth in article 108 of the Company Law.

In any event, the proxy shall carry and present the attendance card issued in the shareholder’s name.

Representation is always revocable. The personal attendance of the represented shareholder to the Meeting will have value of revocation.

In the event of a public request for representation, such will be governed by that set forth in article 107 of the Revised Text of the Company Law and in article 114 of the Securities Market Law.
