Registration for the General Meeting will begin on 29 May 2024 at 9:00 a.m.
(EEST). A shareholder who is registered in the Company's shareholders' register
and who wishes to participate in the General Meeting, must register for the

accessible at citycon.com/egm2024. Registering requires strong electronic
identification with a bank ID or mobile certificate for natural persons and
business ID and the book-entry account number for legal persons. If the
shareholders that are legal persons use the electronic Suomi.fi e-authorization,
registration requires a strong electronic authentication of the authorized
person by using a bank ID or mobile certificate.
 b. by email to yhtiokokous@euroclear.eu or by regular mail to Euroclear Finland
Oy, Yhtiökokous/Citycon Oyj, P.O. Box 1110, FI-00101 Helsinki.

In connection with the registration, a shareholder or a proxy representative is
required to provide the requested personal information. The personal data given
to the Company by shareholders and proxy representatives is only used in
connection with the General Meeting and with the processing of related necessary
registrations.

2. Proxy Representative and Powers of Attorney

A shareholder may participate in the General Meeting and exercise his/her rights
at the meeting by way of proxy representation. A proxy representative may also
choose to vote in advance in the manner described in this notice.

A proxy representative must produce a dated proxy document or otherwise, in a
reliable manner, demonstrate his/her right to represent the shareholder at the
General Meeting. If a shareholder participates in the General Meeting by means
of several proxy representatives representing the shareholder with shares in
different book-entry accounts, the shares, by which each proxy representative
represents the shareholder, shall be identified in connection with the
registration for the General Meeting.

Proxy documents and advance voting forms should be delivered to Euroclear
Finland Oy by mail to Euroclear Finland Oy, Yhtiökokous/Citycon Oyj, P.O Box

received.

If a shareholder delivers a proxy document to the Company in accordance with the
applicable instructions before the expiry of the registration and advance voting
period, this constitutes due registration for the General Meeting, provided that
all required information is included in the proxy documents.

Shareholders that are legal persons can also use the electronic Suomi.fi
authorization service instead of the traditional proxy in Euroclear Finland Oy's

authorizes an assignee nominated by it in the Suomi.fi service at suomi.fi/e
-authorizations using the authorization topic “Representation at the General
Meeting”. The assignee must identify himself/herself with strong electronic
authentication in Euroclear Finland Oy's general meeting service when
registering, after which the electronic mandate is automatically checked. The
