Advance voting
Shareholders that are registered in the shareholders’ register of the company may also vote in advance on the certain agenda items of the Annual General Meeting during the period between 13 March 2025 at 9 a.m. (EET) until 8 April 2024 at 3 p.m. (EEST):

Shareholders also may submit the advance voting form or corresponding information by mail to Raisio Oyj, Osakaspalvelu, P.O. Box 101, FI-21201 Raisio, Finland or by e-mail to osakaspalvelu@raisio.com
Advance voting form
Advance votes must have arrived before the closing date of advance voting. If a shareholder participates in the Annual General Meeting by submitting votes in advance to Raisio plc before the deadline for registration and advance voting, the submission constitutes due registration for the Annual General Meeting, provided that it contains the information required for registration, as mentioned above in this notice.
Under the Finnish Companies Act, shareholders who have voted in advance cannot exercise their right to ask questions, demand a vote at the Annual General Meeting or vote on a possible counterproposal, unless they participate in the Annual General Meeting at the meeting venue in person or by way of proxy representation.
For holders of nominee-registered shares, advance voting is carried out via the custodian. The account management organization of the custodian may cast advance votes on behalf of the holders of nominee-registered shares in accordance with the voting instructions provided by the holders of nominee-registered shares during the registration period for the nominee-registered shares.
An agenda item subject to advance voting is considered to have been presented unchanged to the Annual General Meeting.
A shareholder may vote on the matters as per his/her choice and also change his/her pre-cast votes during the whole pre-voting period. The electronic advance-voting service enables the shareholder to browse his/her pre-cast votes also after the Annual General Meeting and to print out a confirmation of the votes he/she has given in advance.
Proxy representatives and powers of attorney
A shareholder may participate in the Annual General Meeting and exercise their rights at the meeting also by way of proxy representation.
A proxy representative shall provide a dated proxy document or otherwise in a reliable manner demonstrate their right to represent the shareholder at the Annual General Meeting. Should a shareholder participate in the Annual General Meeting by means of several proxy representatives representing the shareholder with shares in different book-entry accounts or equity savings accounts, the shares by which each proxy representative represents the shareholder shall be identified in connection with the registration for the Annual General Meeting.
Shareholders that are natural persons can appoint a proxy representative in connection with the registration to the Annual General Meeting at the Company’s website by using strong authentication. Otherwise, a proxy document must be used.
Proxy document/Power of Attorney
Possible proxy documents should be delivered to the company by mail to Raisio Oyj, Osakaspalvelu, P.O. Box 101, FI-21201 Raisio, Finland or by e-mail to osakaspalvelu@raisio.com before the end of the registration period 8 April 2025 at 3 p.m. (EEST), by which time the proxy authorization documents have to be received. In case the proxy document has been delivered as a copy, the original document must be presented at the meeting venue. Shareholders or their proxy representatives must also register for the Annual General Meeting in the manner described above in this notice.
Delivery of the proxy authorisation documents before the end of the registration period is considered as registration for the Annual General Meeting, if they contain the information required for the registrations, as described above in this notice.
Shareholders that are legal entities can also use the electronic Suomi.fi authorization service instead of the traditional proxy authorization. The shareholder that is a legal entity authorizes a representative appointed by it in the Suomi.fi service at www.suomi.fi/e-authorizations (using the authorization topic “Representation at the General Meeting”). When registering to the Annual General meeting in the electronic meeting service, the representative must identify themselves with strong electronic authentication, after which the electronic mandate is automatically verified. The strong electronic authentication works with personal online banking credentials or a mobile certificate. For more information, see www.suomi.fi/e-authorizations.
