Personal attendanceShareholders must obtain their attendance cards no later than 13 May 2016 from Banque Cantonale Vaudoise, Credit Suisse AG, or UBS S.A. The cards will be issued upon deposit of the shares or upon presentation of an "avis de blocage" [retention notice] from a bank.
Delegation of powers in writing or electronicallyShareholders who do not personally attend the General Meeting may be represented by the Independent Proxy, Mr Martin Habs, notary, either (i) by mailing the original completed attendance card to him at the following address: Place Benjamin-Constant 2, Case postale 7140, CH-1002 Lausanne, or alternatively (ii) by scanning the completed attendance card and sending it electronically in PDF format to the following e-mail address: representant- independant-CFT@phcnot.ch
These two methods are mutually exclusive; it is not necessary to send back the attendance card by post if you vote electronically and vice-versa.
However, in the event of communication by both post and electronically, and should there be a contradiction in the two sets of instructions given to the Independent Proxy, the written instructions will take precedence. In the event of
contradiction between successive instructions given electronically, the Independent Proxy will abstain from voting, due to a lack of a clear, unequivocal intention expressed by the shareholder.
