General Meeting, but also for the payment of dividends, and in the event of ambiguous identification, the shareholder’s rights could be violated, but also the Company could be exposed to the risk of admitting an unauthorised person to exercise shareholder rights or to be paid a dividend, and it is not used further in any manner whatsoever.

Purpose of processing of personal data

The Company processes the personal data of its shareholders or their representatives, namely in connection with the organisation and holding of the General Meetings, where the obligation to hold such meetings is based on the Business Corporations Act, and the processing of personal data is necessary for preparing and holding the General Meetings. In particular, the company must know who its shareholder on the record date is, how many shares this shareholder holds, which of the shareholders or their representatives are attending the General Meeting, what requests for explanations, proposals, or protests have been made. The personal data contained in the share issue statement on the record date must also be processed in order to determine the results of individual votes at the General Meeting. Personal data may also be processed in the minutes of the General Meeting and its schedules that the Company is obliged to take of the proceedings of the General Meeting. The Company must also be able to prove how each individual shareholder voted in the event of a dispute. If the General Meeting decides to distribute a share in profit, the Company must clearly identify the shareholders to whom the dividend is to be paid.

The Company processes personal data of shareholders or their representatives on the basis of the following legal grounds (titles):

  1. Performance of legal obligations;
  2. Legitimate interest of the Company; and
  3. Valid consent of the shareholder or representative to the processing of personal data./span>
Ad A. Performance of legal obligations The Company processes the personal data of shareholders or their representatives in connection with the exercise of rights and obligations arising from the shareholder-Company relationship, in particular for the purposes of voting by correspondence on relevant matters of the agenda of the Company’s General Meeting prior to the General Meeting, preparation for and participation in the Company’s General Meeting and the exercise of rights and obligations at the General Meeting, the payment of a share of profits (dividends), and other grounds provided for by the Business Corporations Act, or the Articles of Association of the Company, and other legal regulations. These include:
  1. The CSD’s share issue statement as of the record date - the right to attend, vote, and exercise rights as the shareholder at the General Meeting is exclusively vested in the shareholder who is listed in the Company’s share issue statement as of the record date that the Company obtains from the CSD.
  2. The registration of shareholders at the General Meeting - for this purpose, the data is processed on the basis of the CSD’s share issue statement, so as to enable the Company to uniquely identify and verify the identity of the shareholder or their representative.
  3. Written and oral requests for explanations, proposals, protests, and the minutes - the Company processes written and oral requests from its shareholders for explanations, proposals, and/or protests made by shareholders or their representatives at the General Meeting, including personal data, if any, provided in such requests. The Company is then required by the Business Corporations Act and the Articles of Association of the Company to prepare the minutes of the General Meeting a copy of which may be requested by shareholders or their representatives.

The consent of the shareholder or their representative to the processing of personal data for the performance of a legal obligation is not required.

The Company provides personal data of shareholders or representatives to other processors (always on the basis of an agreement on personal data processing entered into) and to recipients of personal data that include state administration authorities and other entities within the exercises of statutory rights and the fulfilment of statutory obligations.

The period of processing of personal data will not exceed 10 years after the termination of the shareholder’s shareholding in the Company unless a longer period is provided for by legal regulations.

Ad B. Legitimate interest of the Company

This is a legal ground for the processing of personal data which applies where the legitimate interests or rights of the Company, as the controller, override the interests or rights of (their representatives), as data subjects, considering the reasonable expectations of the data subjects based on their relationship with the controller. Where the legitimate interest of the Company is established, the consent of the data subject to the processing of their personal data is no longer required.

These are in particular the following legitimate interests of the Company – the protection of the fundamental or other important rights of the Company, arising from generally binding legal regulations, in connection with the preparation and holding of the General Meetings. The purpose of the processing of personal data is thus to ensure the proper conduct of the General Meeting, to document the results of voting, to prepare the minutes of the General Meeting, to resolve issues related to the distribution and payment of dividends, etc. In the cases required by the Act, the Company also has a notarial record prepared certifying the proceedings of the General Meeting and the vote on the adoption of the certified decisions, where the notarial record may serve as the basis for the registration of certain facts in the Commercial Register; the notarial record may also contain personal data of the subjects.

The duration of processing depends on the specific purpose of the processing. This will be for the period defined by generally binding legal regulations, but no longer than 10 years after the termination of the shareholder’s ownership interest in the Company.

Ad C. Valid consent of the shareholder or representative to the processing of personal data

In the event that the Company processes the personal data of the shareholder or their representative for other purposes which cannot be classified under the above-stated purposes, it may do so only on the basis of a valid consent to the processing of personal data granted by the shareholder that is an expression of the shareholder’s free will, and it constitutes a specific title for such handling of personal data.

The consent to the processing of personal data is voluntary and free. The shareholder, or their representative, is entitled to withdraw their consent at any time, either in part or in full.

Where personal data are stored

Personal data of shareholders or their representatives may be stored on secure servers in the Company’s IT systems in the Czech Republic. Personal data is collected, processed, and stored exclusively in the Czech Republic.

Further, certain personal data may be captured in a documentary form (e.g. for the needs of the preparation of the minutes of the General Meeting in a documentary form, the preparation of a notary record certifying the course of the General Meeting in a documentary form); these written documents, if they contain personal data, are locked in lockable cabinets or safes in the offices provided that access to the offices and the building in which the offices are located is regulated for authorised persons only (security system for entry including coding, code/ID card entry regime, premises guarded by security service).

Means of the processing of personal data

Personal data are processed both automatically and manually and may be disclosed to the Company’s employees if it is necessary for the performance of their working activities or to processors with whom the Company has entered into an agreement on the processing of personal data. The list of processors of personal data will be provided to the shareholder upon request.
