PROXY VOTES AND REMOTE PARTICIPATION AT THE GENERAL MEETINGS

1.- Right to remote representation and participation
Those shareholders who so wish, may vote remotely or, alternatively, may be represented by a proxy holder even if such proxy holder is not a shareholder, in the terms laid down in the Capital Companies Act, in articles 21, 22 22 bis, 22 ter of the Articles of Association, in articles 9, 9 bis, 9 ter and 12 of the Regulations of the General Shareholders' Meeting, as well as in the proxy vote or remote voting forms provided by the Company. In particular, remote voting and proxy voting may be carried out by postal or electronic correspondence or by means of the computer platform provided for this purpose on the Company's website (www.caf.net), in accordance with the provisions of the notice of the General Meeting.

Shareholders wishing to exercise their remote voting or proxy voting by postal or electronic correspondence must send to the Company the forms that the latter makes available to them, duly completed, by post or by e-mail, in accordance with the instructions indicated therein.

Alternatively, the proxy vote or remote voting forms issued by the securities depository or by any of the participating entities in “Sociedad de Gestión de los Sistemas de Registro, Compensación y Liquidación de Valores, S.A. Unipersonal” (IBERCLEAR) may be used. These forms must be sent by registered post with acknowledgement of receipt and must be duly completed in accordance with the instructions which accompany such forms. Any issues which are not covered in the alternative forms referred to in this paragraph will be subject to the rules laid out in the forms distributed by the Company to the shareholders.

In order to be valid, votes or proxy votes cast remotely must be received by the Company at least twenty-four (24) hours before the established time and date of the General Meeting at first call.

Shareholders who cast their votes remotely shall be considered as attending for the purpose of constituting the meeting.

Shareholders who wish to grant their proxy or cast their vote prior to the General Shareholders' Meeting may also access the corporate website (www.caf.net) and do so through the computer platform set up by the Company for this purpose, providing proof of their identity, in accordance with the instructions contained in the meeting notice.

2.- Basic Priority Rules
Attendance at the General Meeting shall mean the revocation of the vote cast using whatever remote method as well as the revocation of any proxy appointed by any means.

When a proxy had been appointed prior to the remote vote being cast, and the Company has record of such proxy appointment, then, the proxy will be revoked and the remote vote validly cast will prevail.

Unless otherwise stated in the meeting notice or in the proxy appointment or remote voting forms provided by the Company to the shareholders, if a shareholder appoints several valid proxies remotely, the most recent of these will prevail. The same applies for successively cast remote votes.

3.-Availability of the proxy or remote voting forms
The proxy vote or remote voting forms made available to the shareholders by the Company will be available uninterruptedly on the corporate website (www.caf.net), from the date of publication of the General Meeting Call-Notice, as will the other regulations and rules of procedure governing the right for representation and remote attendance at the General Meeting.
