Company's registered seat at the 23rd km. of the Athens-Lamia Highway, Agios Stefanos, Greece, without publishing a new invitation. The items of the agenda of the possible 1st Repetitive Meeting will be the above mentioned.

Pursuant to articles 124, 128 and 141 of Law 4548/2018, as amended and in force, the Company informs the shareholders for the following:

A. RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Any person appearing as shareholder in the records of the Dematerialized Securities System administered by "Hellenic Central Securities Depository S.A." (the "HCSD"), which is the Central Securities Depository providing registry services in the sense of para. 6 of article 124 of L. 4548/2018, is entitled to participate at the General Meeting. The status of shareholder may be evidenced by any lawful means and, in any case, based on the update received by the Company from HCSD. Shareholding status must be effective at the beginning of the fifth (5th) day prior to the date of the General Meeting, i.e. on 30.9.2021 ("Record Date").

The Record Date applies in the case of an adjourned or repetitive general meeting, provided that the adjourned or reiterated general meeting does not take place later than thirty (30) days from the Record Date.

Only persons with shareholding status on the respective Record Date are deemed vis-à-vis the Company to be entitled to participate and vote at the General Meeting. Shareholders who fail to comply with the deadline of para. 4 of article 128 of L. 4548/2018, i.e. who do not submit in writing the appointment of proxies or representatives to the Company at least forty eight (48) hours before the scheduled date of the General Meeting, participate at the General Meeting unless the General Meeting refuses this participation for good reason which justifies this refusal.

The exercise of these rights does not require blocking of the beneficiary's shares or compliance with any other procedure restricting the ability to sell and transfer same during the period between the Record Date and the date of the General Meeting.

B. PROCESS FOR EXERCISING VOTING RIGHTS BY PROXY

A shareholder may participate in the General Meeting and vote either in person or by proxy. Each shareholder may appoint up to three (3) proxies. However, if a shareholder holds shares in the Company, which are held in more than one investor securities account, such restriction does not prevent the shareholder from appointing different proxies for the shares in each

PV: 3071943.1

investor account in relation with the General Assembly. A proxy acting on behalf of more than one shareholder may vote differently for each shareholder.

A shareholder proxy must notify to the Company, before the start of the General Meeting, any specific event which may be useful to shareholders, in order to assess the risk of the proxy serving interests other than those of the shareholder. In the sense of this paragraph, a conflict of interest may particularly arise when a proxy is:

  1. a shareholder exercising control of the Company, or other legal person or entity controlled by that shareholder;
  2. a member of the board of directors or generally of the management of the Company or shareholder exercising control of the Company, or other legal person or entity controlled by that shareholder, which exercises control of the Company;
  3. an employee or a certified auditor of the Company or a shareholder exercising control of the Company, or other legal person or entity controlled by that shareholder, which exercises control of the Company;
  4. a spouse or a first-degree relative with one of the individuals referred to under (a) through
    (c) above.

The appointment and revocation of a shareholder proxy and the revocation or replacement of a representative or a proxy are made in writing (as mentioned immediately below) and filed with the Company at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled date of the General Meeting.

The form that may be used for the appointment of a proxy is available at the Company's website (http://www.ffgroup.com/investors/shareholders/annual-general-meetings/). Such form must be filed, filled-in and signed by the shareholder with the Company's Investor Relations and Corporate Announcements Unit either by post (to the address: FF GROUP, 23rd km of the Athens-Lamia Highway, 14565, Agios Stefanos, Greece) or by e-mail (at ir@ffgroup.gr), at least forty-eighthours (48) prior to the date of the General Meeting. Beneficiaries are responsible for confirming the successful dispatch of the proxy form and the receipt thereof by the Company, by calling the following number: +30 210 6241141 (Mrs. Mantalena Kasidiaropoulou).

C. MINORITY SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

The request for including additional items in the agenda is accompanied by a justification or a draft decision to be approved by the General Meeting, and the revised agenda is published in the same manner as the previous agenda thirteen (13) days prior to the date of the General Meeting and is also made available to the shareholders at the Company's website, along with the justification or draft decision submitted by the shareholders in accordance with article 123 paragraph 4 of law 4548/2018, as amended and in force. If these items are not published, the requesting shareholders are entitled to request the adjournment of the General Meeting, pursuant to article 141 para. 5 of law 4548/2018, as amended and in force, and to proceed with the publication themselves, as provided in the second sentence of this paragraph, at the expense of the Company.

In all the above cases, the Board of Directors may refuse to provide the information for sufficient due reason, to be recorded in the minutes. Such a reason may be, as applicable, the representation of the requesting shareholders in the Board of Directors, in accordance with Articles 79 or 80 of law 4548/2018, as amended and in force. In the cases of the present paragraph, the Board of Directors may answer once to shareholder requests having the same content.

Respective dates for the exercising of the minority shareholder rights apply to the Repetitive General Meeting.
