The difference between the nominal share capital and the proceeds from the Issuance, amounting to EUR 47.812.500 will be credited to the "Reserve from the issuance of shares above par" account.

On May 17th 2021, the decision of the Board of Directors dated May 14th, 2021 was registered in the Trade Registry with registration code number 2545989, which approved the increase of the share capital by cash payment of article 3 par. 1 of the Articles of Association of the Company and the relevant amendment.

Ex-rights date

The ex-rights date (cut-off date of the pre-emptive rights) is the 24th of May 2021. As of that date, the Company's shares will be traded on the Athens Exchange (the "ATHEX") without the pre-emptive right to participate in the Increase while the opening market price of the Company's shares in the ATHEX will be set in accordance with the ATHEX Rulebook, in combination with the Decision no. 26 of the ATHEX Board of Directors, as in force.

Pre-emptive rights

Pre-emptive rights to the Increase shall be granted to i) all shareholders of the Company who will be registered in the files of the Dematerialized Securities System (the "DSS") on the record date i.e. May 25th, 2021, provided that they retain these rights at the time of their exercise and ii) those who shall acquire preemptive rights during the trading period of the said rights in the ATHEX.

Those who have the pre-emptive right to subscribe in the Increase as mentioned above will be entitled to acquire New Shares with a ratio of 0,262542164271582 New Shares for one

(1) existing share.

The exercise period of the pre-emptive rights is set from 27.05.2021 until 09.06.2021.

The commencement of trading of the rights in the ATHEX electronic trading system coincides with the beginning of the pre-emptive rights exercise period.

It is pointed out that the trading of the pre-emptive rights will not be possible within the last three (3) working days before the end of the exercise period.

The date on which the trading of the pre-emptive rights in the ATHEX electronic trading system will case is set at the end of the trading session on 04.06.2021.

The pre-emptive rights for the acquisition of New Shares are freely transferable and will be traded on the ATHEX. The rights will be credited to the Accounts of the Share of each beneficiary in the DSS, on the date of their commencement of trading.

The pre-emptive rights may be exercised during business days and hours on the exercise period, exclusively through the authorized operator of the shareholders' securities accounts (Brokers, Investment Services Firms or Custodians). Investors should contact their authorized operators as of the deadline for exercising their rights through them.

The total amount paid for the subscription of New Shares corresponding to the Pre-emptive Rights that will have been exercised should be credited by the expiration of the Pre-emptive Rights period at the latest (with the care of the shareholder who exercises its rights or the authorized operator of the shareholders' securities accounts, as the case maybe), in the special account which shall be opened for this Share Capital Increase in the National Bank of Greece S.A., which has been designated as the managing bank, otherwise the subscription applications shall be considered inadmissible.

Following their subscription, the subscribing shareholders shall be provided with a relevant receipt, which is not a temporary share title and will not be transferrable or traded in the Athens Exchange.

In case of multiple subscriptions to New Shares by the same person in accordance with the data held in the DSS, the total number of subscriptions shall be treated as a single subscription.

Any Pre-emptive Rights which will not be exercised by the end of the exercise period (i.e. until 09.06.2021) will lapse with no value.

The investors exercising their Pre-emptive Right will not bear settlement costs and costs for the credit of the New Shares in the securities account or any other cost. With regard to the purchase of pre-emptive rights during the trading period, the purchaser shall bear any costs and charges agreed with the investment firm or bank acting as intermediary for such purchase as well as the fees and charges applied by Athex CSD. The New Shares shall be

dematerialised and shall be credited in the Share Accounts of each beneficiary on the DSS, as declared by each beneficiary.

According to the terms of the Share Capital Increase those who have the pre-emptive rights to subscribe in the Increase as mentioned above will be entitled to acquire New Shares with a ratio of 0,262542164271582 New Shares for one (1) existing share.

Fractions of New Shares will not be issued. If Pre-emptive Rights produce decimal number of New Shares, New Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest integer for each beneficiary, while it will not be possible to exercise Pre-emptive Rights for any remaining share fraction.

For example, a shareholder holding 100 existing shares will be entitled through the exercise of the rights to receive 26 New Shares. Respectively the shareholder holding 10 existing shares will be entitled through the exercises of the rights to receive 2 New Shares.

In the case that any amount paid following the exercise of Pre-emptive Rights needs to be returned for any reason to persons exercising their pre-emptive rights, this amount shall be released and returned interest-free.

Pre-Subscription Right

Pursuant to the Board of Directors decision dated May 14th 2021, in the case of unsubscribed New Shares following the timely exercise or extinguishment of the Pre-emptive Rights (the "Unsubscribed Shares"), the right of pre-subscription will be offered to persons who have exercised their preemptive rights (the "Pre-subscription Right") for the acquisition of Unsubscribed Shares which cannot exceed 100% of the number of the New Shares resulting from the exercise of their Preemptive Rights, at the Offering Price.

The Pre-subscription Right shall be exercised simultaneously with the exercise of the preemptive right, by means of a written declaration in which the number of New Shares for which the pre-subscription right is exercised, shall be defined. For the payment of the amount following the pre-subscription right exercise, the same provisions for exercising preemptive rights apply, proportionally to the payment during the exercise of the pre-emptive right.

The shareholders who pre-subscribe shall be given a relevant receipt, which is not a temporary share title and will not be transferrable or traded in the Athens Stock Exchange.

In case that the number of Unsubscribed Shares is not sufficient to cover the entirety of the demand by the beneficiary investors who exercised their Pre-subscription Rights, the Unsubscribed Shares will be allocated pro rata based on the number of New Shares for which they pre-subscribed to the total number of Unsubscribed Shares, until full exhaustion of Unsubscribed Shares.

In case of more than one subscription for New Shares by the same person based on the data recorded in the DSS, all the said subscriptions will be treated as a single registration.

Any pre-subscription amount which will not be used for the acquisition of Unsubscribed Shares shall be released and returned, interest-free, to the persons having exercised their Pre-Subscription Rights.
