Right to Dividends

All natural and legal persons who own shares of the Company as of the below specified date according to the identification of ownership initiated by the Company and to be carried out in accordance with the Regulations of KELER Zrt., who have had their names registered in the Share Registry and who have rendered their identification data as required by the legislation at the Company's disposal by way of their securities account keeper are entitled to dividends.

Conditions for the Payment of Dividends

Based on the legal regulations in effect, payment necessitates the provision of the following data in view of registration in the Share Registry and tax payment (supply of data) considerations:

• In the case of shareholders who are private persons, the data required for the payment of dividends include: name, name at birth, place/time of birth, mother's birth name, citizenship, tax identification number (or passport number in the case of foreigners), the shareholder's gender and address.
• In the case of companies with legal personality: company name, seat, place of registration; tax or registration number in the case of companies registered in Hungary.
• In the case of nominees: the name in respect of the nominee, seat, place of registration (including tax number for nominees registered in Hungary), as well as a declaration regarding the number and composition of shares held by the nominee and regarding the extent to which the nominee represents private and legal persons. The Company would like to draw nominees' attention to the fact that it will effect payment to both legal and private persons after deducting the applicable tax as set forth in the legislation. As the system, rate and assessment of taxation of private and legal persons differ, we will not be able to accept changes to the given rates following the payment. In lack of the declaration, the Company will not pay dividend.

We would also like to highlight that we will be able to issue certificates for secondary legal and private persons if the nominee supplies data in a declaration concerning the above-listed data relating to those represented in the format of a deed in the Hungarian or the English and Hungarian languages duly signed by the company at the latest by the last day of the calendar year in which payment is made.

Missing data will cause delays in payment but payment can be effected by supplying the missing data. We would like to call our shareholders' attention to the fact that the right to dividends may only be practiced by registration in the Company's Share Registry.

In the event the account keeper does not identify, or does not identify properly, its shareholder customers, it may do so at a later time. Payments made pursuant to missing data supplied subsequently will be transferred in the month following the month in which the missing data was supplied.
