Organisational issues

Forwarding of the voting ballot and accompanying documents
The  filled in and signed voting ballot  and accompanying documents must be sent
by e-mail to egrupp@egrupp.ee (mailto:egrupp@egrupp.ee) no later than 4 November
2021 at 9.00.

  * The voting ballot must be filled in and signed either digitally or by hand
    on paper.
  * If the ballot is filled in and signed by hand on paper, the ballot must be
    scanned and forwarded by e-mail together with a copy of an identification
    document (e.g. passport or identity card/ID-card) of the shareholder or the
    shareholder's representative, or a copy of the page of the identification
    document containing personal data (among else, the copy needs to display the
    expiration date and the person's specimen signature) in order to enable
    identification of the shareholder.
  * If the ballot is filled in and signed digitally, no additional documents
    need to be presented to enable identification of the shareholder, if
    identification is possible using the digital signature itself (e.g. signing
    the ballot with Estonian ID-card, mobile-ID or smart-ID).
  * Representative of a natural person-shareholder must also forward a suitably
    prepared power of attorney either in Estonian or English in a format which
    can be reproduced in writing.
  * A legal representative of a legal person-shareholder must also forward an
    excerpt from an appropriate (business) register where the legal person is
    registered, which identifies the individual's right to represent the
    shareholder (legal representation). A legal person shareholder who is
    registered in the Estonian Commercial Register does not have to submit an
    excerpt from the register. If the type of representation is other than legal
    representation, a suitably prepared power of attorney in Estonian or English
    must also be submitted in a format which can be reproduced in writing, in
    addition to the excerpt from a register. In the case of legal persons
    registered in a foreign country, the extract from the register must be
    legalised or certified by an apostil, unless stipulated otherwise in
    international agreements. If the excerpts from a register are in a language
    other than Estonian or English, translations to either Estonian or English
    by a sworn translator or an official equated to a sworn translator must be
    provided. AS Ekspress Grupp may also deem the shareholder's voting right to
    be proven if all the required data concerning the legal person and the
    representative is contained in a notarised authorisation document issued in
    the foreign country and the authorisation document is acceptable in Estonia.

In  order to assign a  representative, the shareholder may  use the template for
power  of attorney, which is  published on the homepage  of AS Ekspress Grupp at
www.egrupp.ee  (http://www.egrupp.ee) and on the  website of Nasdaq Baltic stock
exchange                                              (https://nasdaqbaltic.com/
