RIGHT OF REPRESENTATION Any shareholder entitled to attend the General Meeting may be represented by another person even if they are not a shareholder, by meeting the requirements and 5

formalities established in the Articles of Association, the Rules of the Meeting and the Consolidated Capital Companies Act. The representation must be accepted by the representative and shall be granted specifically for the Meeting object of this call, either by the proxy form printed on the attendance card or in any other manner permitted by law, without prejudice to that set out in Article 187 of the Consolidated Capital Companies Act. If the representation is given to the Board of Directors or if the representation does not expressly nominate the delegated person, it will be deemed to have been granted to the Chairman of the Board of Directors. In the event that the principal has not given voting instructions, it will be understood that the representative will vote in favour of the decisions proposed by the Board of Directors on the matters on the agenda. In the event that there are no voting instructions because the Meeting is going to decide on issues which, although not included on the agenda and are therefore unknown by the principal at the time of delegation, may be subject to vote at the Meeting, the representative shall vote in the manner he/she deems appropriate in the interest of the Company. In the event that the representation is given in response to a public request and the principal has not given voting instructions, it will be considered that means that the representation (i) refers to all items that form part of the Agenda of the General Meeting, (ii) will vote in favour of all the resolutions proposed by the Board of Directors and (iii) will also cover matters that may arise outside of the item for which the proxy will vote in the sense that it considers most appropriate to the interests of the shareholder. If the designated representative finds themselves in a conflict of interest in voting on any of the proposals which, on or off the Agenda, are submitted to the General Meeting and the principal has not given specific voting instructions, it must refrain from issuing a vote on matters on which, being in conflict of interest, they have to vote on behalf of the shareholder. For the purposes of Article 523 and 526 of the Capital Companies Act, it is noted that if the representative designated by a shareholder is a director of the Company, they are in conflict of interest with respect to Points 2, 10 and 11 of the Agenda. The following directors are also in a conflict of interest: Mr Haibo Bai with regard to point 7.1 of the Agenda, Mr. Carlos González Fernández in relation to points 7.2 of the Agenda. The directors can also be in conflict of interest in relation to the proposed agreements which, if any, are made outside of the Agenda, in the event that they refer, among other circumstances, to the revocation as director or claiming liability. REMOTE VOTING AND DELEGATION 6

In accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Association and Regulations of the General Meeting, the Board of Directors has agreed to authorise the exercise of rights of representation and voting through remote means, under the following terms: All shareholders entitled to attend may exercise the voting and/or delegation in relation to items on the Agenda of the General Meeting, before midnight on 20 June 2014, through means of remote communication in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Association and Regulations of the General Meeting of Shareholders. - Delegation.

If completed in favour of the Board of Directors or no action is specified, it is understood that the representation has been granted to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, any Director or to the Secretary of the Board of Directors, without distinction. If the designated representative enters into a conflict of interest in voting on any of the proposals which are on the Agenda or although not on the Agenda are submitted to the Board and the principal has not given precise instructions, the representation will be deemed granted to any of the other two individuals who are not affected by this circumstance. The documents containing proxies for the General Meeting shall contain instructions on how to vote, it being understood that, if nothing is mentioned on the matter, that the representative gives detailed instructions to vote in accordance with the decisions proposed by the Board of Directors on the matters on the Agenda and, unless indicated otherwise, to vote against in relation to any other matter which, not included on the agenda and therefore unknown at the time of delegation, could be voted on at the General Meeting. If the designated representative is the Chairman or any other member of the Board of Directors, it is noted that there may be a conflict of interest in relation to the proposed agreements which are not on the Agenda, when referring to their revocation as director or demanding liability against them. The representative may represent more than one shareholder without limitation as to the number of shareholders represented and may cast votes in different directions depending on the instructions given by each shareholder. If voting instructions are issued by the represented shareholder, the proxy shall cast his/her vote in accordance with them.
