Decisions regarding an increase in the share capital (10.2.7) and changes to the rights attached to specific classes of shares (10.2.18) require the consent of the shareholders of the relevant classes of shares, adopted by a simple majority.

10.3 With regard to Section 10.2.3, the Company expressly undertakes that, in accordance with the provisions of Section 63(7) of Act CXX of 2001 on the Capital Market (hereinafter: “Tpt.”) , the Company will grant the right of sale to shareholders who do not support the general meeting’s decision on delisting, under the same conditions as those set forth in the Tpt. In this regard, the provision of this section is considered by the Budapest Stock Exchange Ltd. (as the market operator) and the Company to be a contractual undertaking by the Company in favor of a third party pursuant to Section 6:136 of the Civil Code, whereby the Company agrees that, with reference to the Budapest Stock Exchange Xtend General Terms and Conditions in effect at any given time, the shareholder concerned may directly demand that the Company purchase his or her shares in accordance with Section 63(7) or Section 63/A of the Securities Act. The shareholder may demand fulfillment of the above purchase obligation stipulated in his or her favor after becoming aware of the Company’s general meeting resolution regarding delisting, given that notification of the obligation in favor of the shareholder under this provision is deemed to have occurred, on the one hand, through the publication of the Budapest Stock Exchange Xtend General Terms and Conditions, as in effect at any given time, in a manner accessible to anyone, and, on the other hand, through the shareholder’s becoming aware of the Company’s decision to delist.
