the agenda, as required by Law <strong>and</strong> the Bylaws. Said document<strong>at</strong>ion is also made available to<br />

Sociedades de Capital) sets out the general inform<strong>at</strong>ion th<strong>at</strong> must be published, prior to the<br />
General Meeting, on an uninterrupted basis, on the Company’s website.<br />

act for the account of different clients, may fraction their votes in accordance with the<br />
instructions of said clients.<br />
Furthermore, in accordance with the provisions of the Corpor<strong>at</strong>e Bylaws, the exercise of the<br />
right to vote on proposed resolutions pertaining to the items included on the agenda, may be<br />
deleg<strong>at</strong>ed or exercised by the shareholder through postal, electronic correspondence or any<br />
other means of electronic remote communic<strong>at</strong>ion, provided th<strong>at</strong> for such cases the Company<br />
has established procedures th<strong>at</strong> duly guarantee the identity of the subject exercising his or her<br />
voting right <strong>and</strong> a record of the identity <strong>and</strong> st<strong>at</strong>us (shareholder or proxyholder) of those voting,<br />

abstention.<br />

electronic remote communic<strong>at</strong>ion, shall be published in the official notice of the General<br />
