Note: The registration of registered shares is maintained by Caja de Valores S.A. (“CVSA”) located at 25 de Mayo 362, CABA. Therefore, to attend the Assembly, shareholders must obtain a certificate of their registered share account held by CVSA. According to Article 24 of the bylaws and the regulations of the National Securities Commission, the shareholders’ meeting will be held remotely from the company’s headquarters at Carlos María Della Paolera 261, Floor 9, in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. There will also be the possibility of in-person participation for those shareholders who indicate their attendance at the meeting and/or until the deadline for notifying attendance. To this end, the email address l.huidobro@zbv.com.ar has been established to allow for electronic registration for the Assembly and the receipt of certificates issued by Caja de Valores S.A. that have been managed by the shareholder. The deadline for notifying attendance to this email address is October 22, 2024, at 3:00 PM, in accordance with Article 238 of the General Companies Law. Shareholders must provide the following information: full name or complete company name; type and number of identification document or registration data with specific identification of the relevant registry and its jurisdiction; and the address where they are located, for the purpose of recording this information in the assembly. Additionally, corporate shareholders, whether local or foreign, are requested to provide information about the ultimate beneficial owners of the shares that constitute the shareholder’s capital and the number of shares with which they will vote. Shareholders who have communicated their attendance will be able to access the video conference system to be used for the assembly via a link that will be sent along with the corresponding instructions to the email address they provided. The application to be used will be Zoom, which will allow: (i) ensuring free accessibility for all duly identified shareholders or their accredited representatives with validated documentation, including a copy of the ID, and access for other participants in the assembly (directors and auditors, among others); (ii) the possibility to participate in the assembly with voice and vote through the simultaneous transmission of sound, images, and words throughout the entire meeting, ensuring the principle of equal treatment for all participants; and (iii) the digital recording of the entire assembly, with a copy retained in digital format for five (5) years, which will be available to shareholders upon request. At the time of voting on each agenda item, each attending shareholder will be asked about the direction of their vote, which may be expressed verbally. The minutes of the assembly will record the participants, their capacity, where they were located, and the technical mechanisms used. These minutes will be signed within five (5) business days following the meeting. It is also noted that when addressing agenda items four, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, and seventeen, the assembly will convene as extraordinary, requiring a quorum of 60%. Therefore, according to the provisions of Article 237 of the General Companies Law, since the assembly has been convened simultaneously for both first and second calls, if the assembly is held in the second call due to the failure of the first, only the items corresponding to the ordinary assembly will be considered. An extraordinary assembly must be held in the second call to address the relevant items within the time frame specified in the cited article and in accordance with the established provisions for the call.
