Behind existing Article 8 of the Articles of Association, new Article 8a is added, which read as follows:

"Article 8a

The Management Board is authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to pass one or more decisions on increase of the share capital by issuing new shares with the payment of stake (approved share capital). The Management Board is authorized to increase the share capital in this manner up to the half of amount of the share capital at the time of coming into force of this provision of the Articles of Association, i.e., up to the amount of EUR 679,871,086 (in words: six hundred seventy nine million eight hundred seventy one thousand and eighty six euro).

As an exception to the provision of the previous paragraph, The Management Board can decide, without further approval of the General Assembly, but with the approval of the Supervisory Board, that the stake for new shares can also be paid in rights and that the shares can be acquired as a substitution for claims that shareholders have towards the Company on the ground of right for payment of dividend of the Company.

The Management Board is authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to decide on the content of the rights from the shared and on the conditions for issuing those shares. In so doing, only regular shares can be issued which are in registered form and without a nominal amount. Each newly issued share gives right to one vote. The Management Board is not authorized to exclude priority right of existing shareholders to register shares which are issued based on this provision of the Articles of Association. The amount of the share capital which falls to a single share after the performed increase cannot be less than an amount of the share capital which fell to a single share before its increase.

The Supervisory Board is authorized to align the provisions of the Articles of Association with the changes to the amount of the share capital and the number of the shares of the Company, all based on the increase of the share capital of the Company and issuing of new shares based on the authorization of the Management Board from this Article of the Articles of the Association.

Article 3

In Article 32 of the Articles of Association behind paragraph 2, new paragraphs 3 and 4 are being added, which read as follows:

Professor Markovinović, Ph.D., has published many scientific papers from the fields of commercial and company law.

In December 2023 the Management Board withdrew 775,842 acquired Company shares without nominal value, without the share capital of the Company being decreased, and the information on the new number of shares has been aligned in the Articles of Association of the Company. Thereby the total number of shares has decreased from 78,775,842 shares to 78,000,000 shares without nominal value, while the remaining shares' participation in the share capital is being increased.

Ad 3) Explanation of the proposal of decision on the utilization of profit

The Management Board and the Supervisory Board propose to the General Assembly to pass the decision by which a part of the net profit will be distributed to shareholders as dividend payment, in the amount of EUR 119,340,000.00, or EUR 1.53 per share, and the remainder of net profit in the amount of EUR 5,821,197.98 will be allocated to retained earnings.

The proposed dividend is within the range declared as a dividend policy and represents a 95.3 % pay-out of the distributable profits earned in the year 2023 and growth of 39.1% compared to the previous year.

HT Inc. announces target dividend for each year at the beginning of the year. Management Board currently expects a minimum dividend of EUR 0.80 per share for the year 2024.

Ad 4) Explanation of the proposal of decision on approval of actions of the Members of the Management Board of the Company for the business year 2023

Pursuant to Article 280, paragraph 3 of the Companies Act, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board propose to the General Assembly to pass the decision by which approval of actions is given to the Members of the Management Board of the Company for the business year 2023. It is hereby proposed that the Assembly approves the manner of the work of the Management Board for the business year 2023.

Ad 5) Explanation of the proposal of decision on approval of actions of the Members of the Supervisory Board of the Company for the business year 2023

It is hereby proposed that the Assembly approves the manner of the work of the Supervisory Board for the business year 2023.

Voting on the approval of actions may be conducted separately for each member of the Supervisory Board if the Assembly decides so, or upon the request of the shareholders holding at least a tenth part of the share capital of the Company.

Ad 6) Explanation of the proposal of amendments to Article 5, Article 8a and Article 32 of the Articles of Association of the Company

a) Article 5/1 of the Articles of Association

In order to align with the new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, and with the goal of reducing negative impact to the environment, it is proposed to join the electrical and electronic waste (EE waste) management system in relation to devices sold to HTs' business customers.

In line with applicable regulations on waste management, HT as seller is obliged to collect EE waste in its retail shops from residential customers, and this is already being performed, while it is not allowed to intermediate, collect, transport, or perform any other activity related to EE waste from legal entities, without being previously registered to perform such activities.

In order to additionally encourage business customers to systematically manage EE waste, it is proposed that HT starts performing the activity of intermediate in waste management, for which it is necessary to add a new business activity in Article 5, paragraph 1 of the Articles of Association:

"intermediation in waste management".

In performing this activity HT would act exclusively as an intermediate and would not take part in any other activities pertaining to transport and EE waste disposal.

b) Articles 8a and 32/3/4 of the Articles of Association

By the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association, the following is being introduced: the possibility to pay out dividend by assignation of shares (Article 32, paragraph 3 of the Articles of Association);

the possibility for the General Assembly to approve the acquisition of shares for shareholders as a substitution for dividend payment (Article 32, paragraph 4 of the Articles of Association);

approved share capital, i.e., the authority of the Management Board to increase the share capital with the approval of the Supervisory Board up to the half of amount of the current share capital of the Company (Article 8a of the Articles of Association).

Authority of the Management Board (approved share capital) is being granted for a period of five years. The Management Board can thereby decide that the increase of share capital can be performed either by payment in cash or by entry of claims that shareholders have on the ground of dividend. For the decision of the Management Board that the increase of share capital is to be performed by entry of claims on the ground of dividend, i.e., by substitution of dividend for the shares which are being issued in the procedure of increase of share capital, the approval of the General Assembly is not necessary. In both cases existing shareholders have priority right to register new shares.

By the said amendments, inter alia, prerequisites are being set to offer an alternative to shareholders in the future - either payment of dividend in cash, or substitution of claim on dividend for shares of the Company, according to their choice.

The Supervisory Board shall be authorized to align the provisions of the Articles of Association with the changes to the amount of the share capital and the number of the shares of the Company.

Ad 7) Explanation of the proposal of decision on approval of the Report on remuneration to the Members of the Supervisory Board and to the Management Board Members in the business year 2023

In line with Article 272.r of the Companies Act, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board compiled the Report on remuneration paid to the members of the Supervisory Board and Management Board members in the previous business year and referred it to the Auditor for review, in line with the Law.

Pursuant to the amendments to the Companies Act from November 2023, the Remuneration Policy for Members of the Management Board must contain the determination of the maximum amount of remuneration for Management Board Members. The Supervisory Board is entitled to align the Remuneration Policy in a given period, inter alia, by introduction of any element required by the amended legislation, in a procedure as stated in the Policy itself. The Supervisory Board aligned the Remuneration Policy by determining the maximum amount of remuneration for Management Board Members up to EUR 1,500,000.00.

When determining the maximum amount of remuneration for Management Board Members all elements of remuneration were considered: fixed (fixed annual salary) and variable (short-term and long-term), that can be granted depending on performance, and fringe benefits. Determined maximum remuneration amount has been included in the Remuneration Report for 2023.

The Auditor who performed the audit of the Annual Financial statements, the company Deloitte d.o.o., reviewed the Report and issued their opinion on compliance of the Report with the prerequisites stated in Article 272.r, paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Companies Act. The Report, together with the Auditors' Report, has been published as Attachment 1 of the Invitation to this General Assembly.

It is proposed to approve the Report. The Company considers the remuneration of the Management Board and Supervisory Board Members to be appropriate to the engagement and work they are performing and to the status and business affairs of the Company.

Ad 8) Explanation of the proposal of decision on confirmation of the Decision on Remuneration for the Work of the Members of the Supervisory Board

In line with Article 269, paragraph 3 of the Companies Act, the Supervisory Board is obliged to determine the Decision on Remuneration for the Work of the Members of the Supervisory Board and submit it to the General Assembly for approval, at least once in every four years. It is allowed for the General Assembly to confirm its previously adopted Decision.

The General Assembly approved the Decision on Remuneration for the Work of the Members of the Supervisory Board in 2020.

Given the expiry of the four-year period, the Supervisory Board proposes to the General Assembly to confirm the Decision on Remuneration for the Work of the Members of the Supervisory Board, in the same content as adopted by the General Assembly in 2020. The proposed Decision has been published as Attachment 2 of the Invitation to this General Assembly.
