C.PROCEDURE FOR VOTING THROUGH PROXY

Shareholders participate in the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote either in person or through proxy. Each shareholder may appoint up to three (3) proxies. Legal entities can participate in the General Meeting by appointing as their proxies up to three (3) natural entities. However, if a shareholder holds Company shares that appear in more than one security accounts, this limitation does not obstruct the shareholder from appointing different proxies for the shares appearing in each security account with regard to the General Meeting. A proxy acting on behalf of additional shareholders is entitled to vote differently for each shareholder.

The proxy of the shareholder is obliged to inform the Company, prior the beginning of the Extraordinary General Meeting, about every event that could be of use to shareholders to assess the risk of having the proxy serving other interests and not the interests of the shareholder represented. Within the context of the present paragraph, a conflict of interests may apply especially when the proxy:

(a) is a shareholder having the control of the Company or is another legal person or entity controlled by this shareholder,

(b) is a member of the Board of Directors or in general of the management of the Company or of a shareholder controlling the Company or of another legal person or entity controlled by a shareholder controlling the Company,

(c) is an employee or Auditor of the Company or of a shareholder controlling the Company or of another legal person or entity controlled by a shareholder controlling the Company,

(d) is a spouse or first-degree relative with one of the natural entities stated in the above verses, a) to c).

The appointment and revocation of a shareholder proxy is performed in writing and is announced to the Company by using the same procedure forty-eight (48) hours before the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The Company has made available in its website (www.stelioskanakis.gr) the form to be used for appointing proxies. This form must be completed, signed and submitted by the shareholder to the Company's Treasury, located at 4 Anemonis Street, Acharnes, Attica, or sent by fax at 210-24.62.433 at least forty eight (48) hours before the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting.
