Notice to the Extraordinary General Meeting

1.    Shareholders registered in the shareholders’ register

Each shareholder, who is on the record date of the meeting on August 31, 2023 registered in the shareholder register of the Company held by Euroclear Finland Oy, has the right to participate in the Extraordinary General Meeting. A shareholder whose shares are registered on their personal Finnish book-entry account or equity savings account is registered in the shareholder register of the Company.

Registration to the Extraordinary General Meeting commences on August 22, 2023 at 1.00 p.m. (Finnish time). A shareholder, who is registered in the Company’s shareholder register and who wants to participate in the Extraordinary General Meeting, shall register for the meeting no later than on September 6, 2023 at 10 a.m. (Finnish time) by giving a prior notice of participation, which shall be received by the Company no later than on the above-mentioned time. Such notice can be given:

a)    through Company’s website: Register here [Registration period has ended]

• Registration requires strong electronic authentication of the shareholder. Registration is done via Euroclear Finland Oy. When shareholders who are natural persons log into the service through the Company’s website, they are directed to the electronic authentication. After this, a shareholder can in one session register to the Extraordinary General Meeting and authorize a proxy representative. Strong electronic authentication can be conducted with online banking codes or a mobile certificate.

• For shareholders that are legal persons, no strong electronic authentication is required. In such a case, however, shareholders that are legal persons must notify their book-entry account number, their business identity code and other required information. If a legal person utilizes the Suomi.fi electronic authorization, registration requires a strong electronic identification from the authorized person, which works with bank codes or the mobile ID.

b)    by telephone to +358 20 788 8300 from Monday to Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. (Finnish time); or
c)    by regular mail to Rovio Entertainment Corporation, EGM 2023, Keilaranta 7, FI-02150 Espoo, Finland.

In connection with the registration, a shareholder shall provide their name, date of birth/personal identification number or business identity code, address, telephone number and email address and the name of a possible assistant or proxy representative and the date of birth/personal identification number of a proxy representative and any other information requested. Any personal data provided to the Company in connection with the registration will be processed in accordance with the Privacy Notice for the Extraordinary General Meeting for purposes related to organizing the Extraordinary General Meeting.

A shareholder, their authorized representative or proxy representative shall, where necessary, be able to prove their identity and/or right of representation at the meeting place.

2.    Holders of nominee registered shares

A holder of nominee registered shares has the right to participate in the Extraordinary General Meeting by virtue of such shares, based on which they on the record date of the Extraordinary General Meeting, i.e. on August 31, 2023, would be entitled to be registered in the shareholder register of the Company held by Euroclear Finland Oy. The right to participate in the Extraordinary General Meeting requires, in addition, that the shareholder on the basis of such shares has been temporarily registered into the shareholder register held by Euroclear Finland Oy at the latest on September 6, 2023 at 10 a.m. (Finnish time). As regards nominee registered shares this constitutes due registration for the Extraordinary General Meeting.

A holder of nominee registered shares is advised to request without delay necessary instructions regarding the temporary registration in the shareholder’s register of the Company, the issuing of proxy documents and voting instructions and registration for the Extraordinary General Meeting from their custodian. The account manager of the custodian must register a holder of nominee registered shares, who wants to participate in the Extraordinary General Meeting, temporarily into the shareholder register of the Company by September 6, 2023 at 10 a.m.  (Finnish time) at the latest.

For the sake of clarity, it is noted that holders of nominee-registered shares cannot register for the Extraordinary General Meeting on the Company’s website, but they must be registered by their custodians instead.

Shareholders may participate in the Extraordinary General Meeting and exercise their rights at the Extraordinary General Meeting by way of proxy representation.

A proxy representative shall produce a dated proxy document or otherwise in a reliable manner demonstrate their right to represent the shareholder at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Proxy representatives registering electronically for the Extraordinary General Meeting must identify themselves personally through strong electronic authentication, after which they can register on behalf of the shareholder they represent.

If a shareholder participates in the Extraordinary General Meeting by means of several proxy representatives representing the shareholder with shares at different securities accounts, the shares by which each proxy representative represents the shareholder shall be identified in connection with the registration for the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Natural persons may appoint a proxy representative in connection with the registration to the Extraordinary General Meeting at the Company’s website. Otherwise, a proxy document must be used.

Possible proxy documents should be delivered to the Company either in originals to the address Rovio Entertainment Corporation, EGM 2023, Keilaranta 7, FI-02150 Espoo, Finland or via email to rovio.egm@rovio.com before the last date for registration, by which time the proxy documents have to be received. In addition to delivering proxy documents, shareholders or their proxy representatives shall see to the registration for the Extraordinary General Meeting in the manner described in the notice to the EGM.

Shareholders that are legal entities may also, as an alternative to traditional proxy documents, use the electronic Suomi.fi authorization service for authorizing their proxy representatives. The representative is mandated in the Suomi.fi service at www.suomi.fi/e-authorizations (using the authorization topic “Representation at the General Meeting”). When registering for the Extraordinary General Meeting in Euroclear Finland Oy’s general meeting service, authorized representatives shall identify themselves with strong electronic authentication, after which the electronic mandate is automatically verified. The strong electronic authentication takes place with personal online banking credentials or a mobile certificate. For more information, see www.suomi.fi/e-authorizations.
