The company’s by-laws stipulate that for the purpose of General Meetings, without prejudice to restrictions resulting from any laws and decrees in force, each member of the General Meeting may cast as many votes as the number of shares he or she owns or represents, without any limits. Nevertheless, double voting rights compared to other shares, considering the share capital quota they represent, are granted to any shares fully paid up for which it can be shown that they have been registered in the name of the same shareholder for a period of at least four years. This right is also granted in the case of any increase in capital stock through incorporation of reserves, profits or types of issue and as soon as they are issued, for any nominative shares granted without cost to any shareholder who holds former shares that benefit from this right. 5.1.
