OPERATING RULES 

In order to comply with the provisions of Article 539.2, second paragraph of the revised text of the Spanish Companies Act (hereinafter, the "LSC"), EDP RENOVÁVEIS, S.A. (hereinafter, “EDPR” or the “Company”) has set up an DIGITAL SHAREHOLDERS' FORUM (hereinafter, the "Forum") for the Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting scheduled for April 4th, 2023, on first call , and April 14th, 2023, on second call. 

The Forum is set up to facilitate communication between EDPRs shareholders during the run up to the meeting and until the Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting is held.  

Shareholders may send for publication in the Forum, exclusively communications that have as their object: 

  • proposals intended to be presented as a supplement to the agenda announced in the notice of the General Shareholders' Meeting; 
  • requests for adherence to such proposals; 
  • initiatives to reach a sufficient percentage to exercise a minority right provided or by law; and 
  • offers or requests for voluntary representation. 

After the conclusion of the EDPR General Meeting, the right is reserved to remove and delete all communications relating to the General Meeting. Communications containing comments that violate the respect for the dignity of persons, that are offensive, xenophobic, racist, violent, and those that are in any way likely to break the law or that, in general, are inappropriate to the nature of the Forum, or exceed its purpose, shall not be published in the Forum. No personal data or information of third parties may be entered without the express and documented consent of the person concerned nor impersonating the identities of others EDPR may refuse to publish in the Forum or remove from it at any time, those communications that it considers not to be in accordance with the law and these operating rules. 

No communication made or published in the Forum may be understood, in any case, as a notification to EDPR for the purpose of exercising any right held by the shareholders, individually or collectively (to introduce additional items to the agenda, remote voting, etc.), nor does it supplement the necessary requirements demanded by law, the Company's bylaws and internal regulations of the Company, for the exercise of any of said rights or the development of the initiatives and actions of the shareholders. All rights and powers that shareholders wish to exercise must be exercised through the legally established channels, and under no circumstances shall the Forum be a valid channel for these purposes. 

Shareholders who wish to access and use the Forum must register on the Shareholders' Forum platform via the link in this Web page, identifying themselves using a digital certificate issued by a valid entity (e.g. CERES) o using their electronic ID card.  To complete the access request the shareholder must prove their shareholder status by sending their shareholders certificate to the email address: shareholdersedpr@edpr.com.  

The shareholders, legal persons or entities who do not have a digital certificate and the voluntary associations of shareholders, should request access sending an email to the e-mail address shareholdersedpr@edpr.com, together with documentation proving their identity (ID card or passport) and their status as a shareholder of EDPR (certificate of ownership of shares) or voluntary association of shareholders duly constituted and registered in the corresponding public registry. In the case of legal entities, voluntary associations of shareholders, they must also attach the corresponding document that sufficiently accredits the representation with which the signatory acts on their behalf. Likewise, the email/contact details that will be published/assigned to them in the Forum must also be indicated, so that interested shareholders may contact each other as a result of the Forum's publications. 

Once the company verifies the identity and status of shareholder or voluntary association of shareholders of the applicant, and providing the proposal received complies with the provisions of Article 539 of the LSC and the operating rules, it will proceed to activate the users account (for requests made by digital certificate) or create the account (for requests sent by email) and will respond with the access codes to the Forum . All registered shareholders will have access to the Forum and will be able to consult communications made by other shareholders. 

All publications made on the Forum shall include the identification (name and surname, in the case of individuals, and corporate name and identification of its representative, in the case of legal entities, as well as, in both cases, the number of shares held) of the requesting shareholder, as well as the date and time of insertion. Likewise, the contact details indicated by the shareholder shall be included, for the purpose of facilitating communication with other interested shareholders. The publication of communications in the Forum is always conditioned to the fact the author maintains their condition of EDPR shareholder or that of a voluntary association of shareholders duly constituted and registered with the corresponding public body. 

If EDPR, in its capacity as administrator of the Forum, should at any time have doubts as to the fulfilment of these conditions, it may require accreditation of the condition of shareholder status or equivalent, and may request the provision of such information or documentation as it deems appropriate to verify the points set forth herein. Likewise, the shareholder assumes the obligation to notify the Company, if necessary, and as soon as possible, of the loss of shareholder status. 

EDPR is not responsible for the accuracy, veracity, validity, legality or relevance of the communications published in the Forum. Likewise, EDPR also has the power, but not the obligation, to control the content of the communications published in the Forum, which are the sole responsibility of the shareholders who make them. 

The personal data provided by shareholders for the use of the forum will be processed by EDP RENOVÁVEIS, S.A. as Data Controller, in order to allow their registration in this forum and to manage and supervise its operation. 

The personal data of the shareholders may be communicated by EDPR to the competent Public Bodies and Administrations, in order to comply with their respective legal obligations in accordance with the regulations in force, and, where appropriate, to third parties involved in the development and management of the Forum. Likewise, participation in the forum implies the communication of the information you share through this channel with other participants. 

The interested parties may revoke their consent at any time, without prejudice to the lawfulness of the processing previously carried out, as well as exercise their rights of access, correction, deletion, objection, limitation and portability by writing to the Compliance Department at C/ Serrano Galvache, nº 56, Edificio Olmo, 6ª planta, 28033 Madrid, by email to dataprotection@edpr.com.  

Finally, if the data subject considers that the Controller has violated their rights under the applicable regulations on data protection, they may lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency.
