Dear Shareholders,
The Board of Directors of the Company, having taken into account all the requirements of the applicable legislation, in relation to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 14th, 2026 (and any repeat, postponement or adjournment thereof) (the "EGM"), has prepared and submits to the EGM the following report:
The Board of Directors of the Company proposes to the EGM that the Board of Directors of the Company be authorised (the "Authorisation"), pursuant to Article 24(1)(b) of Law 4548/2018, in order for the Board of Directors to have the power to carry out a share capital increase, by payment in cash, in one or more transactions, through the issuance of new ordinary, registered, voting, dematerialised shares of the Company, under the terms to be determined by the Company's Board of Directors. In particular, it is proposed that the Company's Board of Directors be authorised to decide to increase the Company's share capital by cash payment, by an amount not exceeding the equivalent of the Company's nominal share capital paid up on the date of authorisation to the Board of Directors, i.e. up to the amount of Euro 915,789,600, by issuing up to 369,270,000 new ordinary, registered, voting, dematerialised shares (the “Proposed Share Capital Increase”). It is also proposed that the Authorisation be valid until 31st December 2026.
Within the framework of the Authorisation, the Company's Board of Directors proposes to the EGM, already and prior to the use of the Authorisation by the Company's Board of Directors, to abolish the pre-emption rights of the Company's existing shareholders, in accordance with Article 27(1) of Law 4548/2018, for the reasons set out below:
1. Aspects of the Proposed Structure of the Proposed Share Capital Increase
The new shares to be issued within the framework of the Proposed Share Capital Increase are proposed to be:
2. Purpose of the Proposed Share Capital Increase
The Proposed Share Capital Increase will contribute to the financing of the Company’s capital investment program aiming to:
(i) accelerate investments in its main geographic markets;
(ii) grow its international presence;
(iii) invest in other sectors that the Company considers strategic or complimentary to its main activities and
(iv) retain flexibility for further growth opportunities in the energy and technology sectors.
Finally, the Proposed Share Capital Increase will increase the Company's strategic and operational flexibility through a more efficient and sustainable capital structure.
3. Justification for the abolition of pre-emption rights
The proposed abolition of the pre-emption rights of the Company's existing shareholders is considered, under the current market conditions, to be justified and clearly beneficial to the Company, thanks to the following significant advantages:
In any case, taking into account the above advantages, provision is made for the preferential participation of existing shareholders through the proposed preferential allocation of new shares to existing shareholders, but in a manner and on terms that do not diminish but preserve the above benefits resulting from the abolition of pre-emption rights.
4. Offer price
It is proposed that the offer price of the new shares be determined by the Board of Directors, within the framework of the Authorisation and based on the results of the international book-building process to be conducted in the context of the Private Placement. In any case, the offer price may not be lower than the nominal value of €2.48 per share. The choice of the nominal value as the minimum offer price is made for the obvious reason of avoiding, even implicitly, the impression among investors that the Company may accept a specific price as commercially acceptable. On the contrary, it goes without saying that the Company seeks, through the open and competitive book-building process, to increase, to the extent possible, investor participation and demand for shares, so as to effectively increase competition in the book and, consequently, the value of the Company's capital and maximise the value of the shares offered.
