Please note that Investors should contact their Securities Account Operator in the Dematerialized Securities System (DSS) and submit their warrant exercise orders from 19/12/2014 (T-4) until 29/12/2014 (T). The number of warrants to be exercised should be freely available in the Investor Securities Account, while upon filing of the exercise order from the Operator with the DSS, this amount will be blocked for the purposes of the exercise.

Crediting of shares

�

The settlement of Warrant exercise orders filed with the DSS until day T, i.e. the crediting of shares corresponding to the exercise against the respective price paid (number of warrants times Multiplier times 3nd Exercise Share Price), will take place on 30/12/2014 (T+1). The crediting of fractional shares, if any, will take place on 31/12/2014 (T+2), in accordance with the relevant provisions of Article�3.4 of Cabinet Act 38/19.11.2012 (Govt. Gazette A 223) and the process set out below.

�

Exercise through a single order to one Operator

�

The number of shares corresponding to the Warrants� exercise is the product of the amount of exercised warrants times the multiplier rounded down to the nearest integer. The consideration will be paid by the Warrant holder, in accordance with the Operator�s instructions.

�

Exercise through multiple orders to one Operator

�

If there are more than one exercise orders by the same Warrant holder to the same Operator, any fractional shares will be summed up and then rounded down to the nearest integer. The consideration will be paid by the Warrant holder, in accordance with the Operator�s instructions.

�

Exercise through multiple Operators

�

In the event that the investor holds and exercises Warrants through more than one Operator, any fractional shares arising, through one or multiple orders, after each Operator has handled fractional values (according to the above), are summed up and then rounded down to the nearest integer. The consideration will be paid by the Warrant holder, as per the instructions of the Operator with the highest percentage of exercised Warrants for such holder.

�

Warrant exercise orders made by Investors to their Operators include the fractional shares that may arise as above. Investors are therefore obliged to pay to their Operators the price of the additional shares, if any, that may arise from fractional balances. Beneficiaries will be informed by their Operator about the payment of the consideration of the additional shares, which will be credited to the beneficiaries� account with the Operator, to whom they have made the relevant payment.
