statuts coordonnés de “AUNA S.A.” - 38 | P a g e

 

49.1.2. by mailing such notice or document to such Shareholder at his address as recorded in the Register of Shareholders (and in the case of a notice convening a general meeting, only if such Shareholder has individually agreed to receive notice in such manner);

49.3.

statuts coordonnés de “AUNA S.A.” - 39 | P a g e

 

convene a general meeting by notices sent through the mail, a general meeting may be convened by a notice advertised in at least one (1) leading national daily newspaper in Luxembourg, filed with the register of commerce and companies and published on the Recueil Electronique des Sociétés et Associations at least fifteen (15) days before the affected general meeting. In such case, such notice shall be deemed to have been duly served on all Shareholders entitled thereto at noon on the day on which such advertisement shall appear. In any such case the Company shall send, from Luxembourg or elsewhere (as the Board in its opinion considers practical), confirmatory copies of the notice convening the general meeting at least eight (8) days before the meeting by mail (or by facsimile or electronic mail in the case of Shareholders who have consented in writing to receive notices by facsimile or electronic mail as described in Article 49.1.3 and Article 49.1.4) to those Shareholders whose registered addresses are outside Luxembourg or are in areas of Luxembourg unaffected by such suspension or curtailment of postal services. If at least eight (8) days prior to the time appointed for the holding of the general meeting, the mailing of notices to Shareholders in Luxembourg, or any part thereof that was previously affected, has again (in the opinion of the Board) become practical, to the extent such Shareholders have not received notices convening such meeting by facsimile or electronic mail, the Company shall send confirmatory copies of the notice by mail to such Shareholders. The accidental omission to give any such confirmatory copy of a notice of a general meeting to, or the non-receipt of any such confirmatory copy by, any Shareholder (whether by mail or, if applicable, facsimile or electronic mail) shall not invalidate the proceedings at such general meeting, and no proof need be given that this formality has been complied with.

49.6. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 49, the Company shall not be obliged to take account of or make any investigations as to the existence of any suspension or curtailment of postal services within or in relation to all or any part of any jurisdiction or other area other than Luxembourg.
