As a result, the company had the required by the law quorum and majority to make decisions on all the daily agenda issues, apart from the 5th issue (addition in the company’s scope and consequent adjustment of the article 3 the Company’s Articles of Association) and the 7th issue (amendment of the stock option plan). Therefore, the discussion and decision making on the aforementioned issues was postponed and will take place during a Repeated General Shareholders Meeting at the same place on Tuesday, July 14th 2009 at 17:00 without the publication of further invitation according to the Company’s BoD decision as at 05/06/2009.

Specifically, the above Meeting:
