In addition, the right to participate in the General Meeting requires that the shareholder, on the basis of such shares, has been temporarily registered into the shareholders’ register held by Euroclear Finland Oy by 10:00 a.m. (EET) on 20 March 2024 at the latest.

The account management organisation of the custodian bank shall temporarily register the holder of the nominee-registered shares who wishes to participate in the General Meeting into the shareholders' register of the Company by the time stated above at the latest, and, as applicable, take care of the advance voting on behalf of the holder of the nominee-registered shares within the registration period.

A shareholder may participate in the General Meeting and exercise their rights at the meeting also by way of third-party proxy representation. A proxy representative shall provide a dated proxy document or otherwise in a reliable manner demonstrate their right to represent the shareholder at the General Meeting. If a shareholder participates in the General Meeting by means of several proxy representatives representing the shareholder with shares in different securities accounts, the shares with which each proxy representative represents the shareholder shall be identified in connection with the registration for the General Meeting. 

The proxy documents, if any, should be notified in connection with the registration, and they should be submitted to the Company by email addressed to agm [at] fortum [dot] com (agm[at]fortum[dot]com), or by regular mail addressed to Fortum Corporation, Corporate Legal Affairs/AGM, P.O.

In this case, the shareholder that is a legal entity authorises a representative appointed by it in the Suomi.fi service at www.suomi.fi/e-authorizations (using the authorisation topic “Representation at the General Meeting”). When registering, the representative must identify themselves with strong electronic authentication in Euroclear Finland’s general meeting service, after which the electronic mandate is automatically checked.
