Procedure for exercising pre-emptive rights

Beneficiaries of pre-emptive rights in the Increase are:

  1. the shareholders of the Bank registered in individual or client accounts in the Intangible Assets System (DSS) on the record date, provided they retain those rights over the time of their exercise,
  2. those who acquire pre-emptive rights during the trading period on the ATHEX.

The record date for beneficiaries is set at 23.11.2021. The start date of the trading period and the exercise of the pre-emptive rights is 25.11.2021, while the end date of the trading period of the pre-emptive rights is set as 03.12.2021 and the end date of the pre-emptive exercise period is

08.12.2021.

The procedure for exercising pre-emptive rights will be the following:

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 each beneficiary's share in the DSS, on the date of their start of trading. It is pointed out that the pre-emptive rights will not be traded in the last three (3) working days before the end of their exercise period. As the end date of the trading period of the rights in the ATHEX electronic trading system, the end of the meeting of 03.12.2021 is set.

The pre-emptive rights will be exercised by their holders during business days and hours during the whole period of the exercise of pre-emptive rights, either through the Bank branches or through the Participants in the securities accounts of the shareholders (Finance SAs or bank custodian), by submitting an application to them.

The total price of the New Shares corresponding to the exercised pre-emptive right must have been credited at the end of the term for exercising the pre-emptive rights (with the care of the current shareholder or the Participant through whom he exercises the pre-emptive rights, as the case may be) in the special account that has been opened for the Increase in the Bank, otherwise the exercise of the respective pre-emptive rights will be considered as not born.

After the exercise of their pre-emptive rights, the subscribers will receive a relevant receipt, which does not constitute a temporary title and is not negotiable.

If more than one subscription of the same person is ascertained based on DSS data, the total of these records will be treated as a single entry.

The pre-emptive rights, which will not be exercised until the relevant deadline for their exercise expires, are depreciated and cease to be valid.

The investors who exercise pre-emptive rights are not burdened with clearing and credit costs of their New Share or with any other cost. For the purchase of pre-emptive rights, the purchaser will incur the estimated costs agreed with the Finance SA or the bank with which he cooperates, as well as the fees (in a transferable manner) that apply from the Greek Central Securities Depository SA.

The New Shares will be granted to the beneficiaries in dematerialized form by credit in Investor Share and the Securities Account in the DSS that has been stated by the beneficiaries.

No fractions of New Shares will be issued. Any fractions of shares corresponding to the preemptive rights exercised will be added to the immediately smaller integer number of shares per beneficiary during the exercise, while it will not be possible to exercise rights for any remaining fraction of shares.

In the event that for any reason the exercised pre-emptive rights must be returned, the paid price of the New Shares will be refunded without interest.
