Shareholders who are entitled to participate in the Annual General Meeting may vote either in person or by proxy.  Each shareholder may appoint up to three (3) proxies.  Legal entities may participate in the Annual General Meeting by appointing up to three (3) natural persons as their proxies.  However, if a Shareholder holds shares of the Company which appear in more than one securities' account, such limitation does not prevent that Shareholder to appoint different proxies for the shares which appear in each securities' account in relation to the Annual General Meeting.  A proxy who acts for more than one Shareholder may vote differently for each Shareholder.

Forms of appointment of proxies are available to the shareholders on the Company's website (www.space.gr ) and, in case a shareholder is not possible to have internet access to such forms, in a typed version at the Investors Relations Department (312 Messogion Av., Ag.

The appointed proxy is obliged to notify to the Company, prior to the commencement of the Annual General Meeting, any specific fact, which might be useful to the shareholders, in their assessment of the risk of the proxy serving interests other than their own.  Conflict of interest may arise in particular in cases where the proxy: a) is a controlling shareholder of the Company or is a legal person or entity controlled by such shareholder; b) is a member of the Board of Directors or in general of the management of the Company or of a controlling shareholder, or of another legal person or entity controlled by such shareholder; c) is an employee or an auditor of the Company or of a controlling shareholder, or of another legal person or entity controlled by a controlling shareholder; d) is a spouse or a first degree relative of a natural person referred to in cases a to c above.
