The proxies granted to the independent proxy must be received by the independent proxy no later
than March 8, 2011, 12:00 noon Central European time.
Registered shareholders who have appointed a Company officer or the independent proxy as a proxy
may not vote in person at the meeting or send a proxy of their choice to the meeting, unless they revoke or
change their proxies. Revocations must be received by the independent proxy no later than March 8, 2011,
11:00 a.m. Central European time. Registered shareholders who have appointed a Company officer as their
proxy may revoke their proxy at any time before the vote is taken at the Annual General Meeting. However,
a written revocation must be received by the Secretary in sufficient time to permit the necessary examination
and tabulation of the subsequent revocation. Written revocations should be directed to the Secretary of the
Company at the same addresses listed above used for proxy submissions.
With regard to the items listed on the agenda and without any explicit instructions to the contrary,
the Company officer acting as proxy and the independent proxy will vote according to the
recommendations of the Board of Directors. If new agenda items (other than those on the agenda) or
new proposals or motions regarding agenda items set out in the invitation to the Annual General
Meeting are being put forth before the meeting, the Company officer acting as proxy will vote in
accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors, as will the independent proxy in the
absence of other specific instructions.
Beneficial owners who have not obtained a proxy, executed in their favor, from their broker, custodian
or other nominee, are not entitled to vote in person at, or participate in, the Annual General Meeting.
For further information, refer to ‘‘What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder
of record and as a beneficial owner?’’
