Eligibility to exercise said right is established by means of a notice submitted to the Company by the authorized intermediary as per Article 43 of the Joint Regulation; however, such certification is not necessary should the Company receive the notice of the intermediary required for attending the Meeting. The questions received by the above deadline prior to the Meeting shall be answered in writing by 26 July 2021, and the Company may provide a single answer to multiple questions on the same topic.
