(“AGM”)
Attendance and voting

 

  1. As all the shares in the Company are register entries, a Company shareholder shall be entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting only if on March 25, 2011, at 00:00 GMT (the record date) - i.e. five business days before the date of the AGM - he/she is registered as an owner of registered shares entitling him/her to at least one vote. In the event that the AGM is adjourned, the adjourned meeting shall be made up of members who provide evidence of holding shares in the Company entitling them to at least one vote, provided that the record date (i.e. five business days before the date of such adjourned AGM) shall be observed.
  2. Each share qualifies for one vote. The total number of shares in the Company amounts to 133 million.
  3. No later than March 24, 2011, i.e. the day before the record date set forth in (1) above, shareholders wishing to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting must give notice in writing of such intention to both the Chairman of the group chairing the AGM and the financial intermediary with whom the account is opened and, to this end, they may use the email address of the Company: corticeira.amorim@amorim.com
  4. The financial intermediary who shall have been informed - according to the terms set forth in (3) above - of the intention of his/her client to attend the AGM must advise the Chairman of the group chairing the AGM up to the end of Friday, March 25, 2011 - the record date set forth in (1) above - of the number of shares registered on behalf of his/her client on the record date and, to this end, the financial intermediary may use the email address of the Company: corticeira.amorim@amorim.com.
  5. Shareholders who have given notice of their intention to participate in the meeting and have transferred the ownership of their shares in the period between the record date and the closing of the relevant AGM must immediately inform the Chairman of the group chairing the AGM and the Portuguese Securities Market Commission thereof.
  6. Voting by post is permitted at the Annual General Meeting. All correspondence relating to the AGM shall be sent in a sealed envelope to the Chairman of the group chairing the AGM and must reach the Company’s registered office no later than 6:00 p.m. on the 3rd business day before the date fixed for the holding of the meeting. Each member shall complete and sign a postal ballot form per item of business that he/she wishes to vote on and then send the ballot form in a sealed envelope to the Company. The postal ballot form shall bear the proper identification of the voter, the relevant annual general meeting, the relevant item of business, the resolution and the member’s vote (for or against). The member’s signature made on the vote forms must be certified by the Company. Only postal ballot forms from Company’s members meeting the requirements set forth in the preceding paragraphs will be taken into account. Votes cast by post shall be deemed to be negative votes in respect of a proposal submitted after the date on which such votes were cast. Attendance of a shareholder either in person or by proxy at the AGM shall revoke his/her vote cast by post.
  7. As provided in section 23 of the Portuguese Securities Market Act, a shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting may be represented by a proxy. The voluntary representation shall comply with the following rules:

  10. During the AGM, shareholders can request to be given complete, accurate, truthful and non-misleading information to enable them to form a well-founded opinion about resolutions put forward to be voted on at the AGM.
