Christopher Mattheisen: Very good morning to All. Ladies and Gentlemen, I hereby open the General Meeting at 11:00 oclock. I welcome the Shareholders and the invitees.
Let me inform the General Meeting that votes will be cast via computer in accordance with Section 6.17.1 of the Articles of Association, and votes will be tallied electronically in accordance with Section 6.17.3 of the Articles of Association. I inform the General Meeting that I will state the result of voting as the computer counted votes appear on the screen. I ask Mrs. Judit Borokné Matus, present on behalf of KELER Zrt., to describe the essence and method of computer voting.
Mrs. Judit Borokné Matus: Distinguished Shareholders, Mr. Chairman. My name is Mrs. Judit Borókné Matus, representing KELER Zrt. assisting in the management of the General Meeting and in the registration process. Let me briefly inform You about the voting system and the voting process.
During the registration, You have received a wireless voting device, which indicates the individual voting number of the shareholder. Therefore, please take care of the voting device, do not hand it over to anyone else. There are three buttons on the voting device: the green is the YES button, the red is the NO button, the black is the ABSTENTION button. The proposal will be put to the vote by the Chairman of the General Meeting and you can cast your vote when the voting window will appear on the TV screen.
During the voting please push the applicable button of the voting device and release. After pushing the button a little red led will light continuously, indicating that the voting device works. After 2-3 seconds, the red light will change to flashing light, which means that the voting system received the vote and confirmed it to the voting device. If the voting device does not work properly, please let us know and we immediately replace the device.
During the voting process, the number of votes cast can be monitored. You have approx. 15-20 seconds to cast your votes. After this approx. in 2-3 seconds, the result of the voting appears on the screen and on the monitor in front of the Chairman. In addition, the votes did not cast will also appear, in accordance with the applicable legal requirements. Naturally, the Chairman of the General Meeting will state verbally the result of the voting. Let me draw Your attention that the voting ratio will be rounded to two decimal places, therefore, there can be a situation when 1 NO vote appears as 0.00% voting ratio on the screen. Naturally, all votes will be registered and appear in the minutes of the General Meeting.
According to Section 298 (6) of the Companies Act, if a shareholder holds shares on more than one securities account and provides power of attorney for different proxies, when different votes are cast, such votes are invalid.
In order to operate the voting device properly, the device must receive light through the small black window in the front. Therefore, please do not to cover the device during the voting.
Now, to go through the voting process, I propose to have a test voting. Please cast your vote. You can vote when the voting window appears, please push the applicable button of the device! The voting is closed and the results appeared.
If you have any questions regarding the voting system, please let us know now. Thank you and I wish you good work and a successful General Meeting!
Christopher Mattheisen: There is a question. Please.
Pál Kustra: My name is Pál Kustra and I do not have a voting device because in spite of that I hold a certificate, an official certificate, you revoked my right to vote, therefore I request Keler Rt. to check who made the mistake, and I request Magyar Telekom that was not willing to give me a certificate that they revoked the right I request that they to put it in writing for me that they did not accept the certificate issued by Erste Bróker. Thank you.
Balázs Máthé: To be fair, we repeat what we told Mr. Kustra during the registration, and after this I request you to move to the other seat section. Your question is subject to the following rules. In accordance with the cogent rules of the Companies Act, the Articles of Association of Magyar Telekom and the invitation to the General Meeting any person shall be entitled to exercise shareholders rights at the General Meeting, if such person has been duly registered in the Shareholders Register at the time of its closing. The registration of shareholders in the Shareholders Register shall be ensured by their respective securities account managers. Magyar Telekom shall not be held responsible for the consequences of any failure on behalf of securities account managers. Thank you. Further, I request You not to make any more comments.
Christopher Mattheisen: Thank you very much. Based on the registration I state that the General Meeting constitutes a quorum, as the majority of the shareholders having voting shares are present personally or via proxy.
Number of shares issued by company: 1,042,742,543, of which the number of non-voting treasury shares are: 390,862.
Total number of votes represented by the voting shares: 1,042,351,681.
Total number of votes represented by the present shareholders: 688,755,951 (in percentage: 66.08%).
The General Meeting is held with shareholders attendance in person, by decision-making on the meeting.
I confirm that the General Meeting has been convened in compliance with the relevant provisions of law and the provisions of the Articles of Association. Submissions, resolution proposals could be preliminarily studied by the Shareholders at the home page of the Company and the Budapest Stock Exchange, at KELER Zrt. and before the start of the meeting, here, at the venue of the General Meeting. According to the Companys standpoint, the Company is not obliged to publish the invitation to the Companys General Meeting and the summary of the submissions and resolution proposals in the Magyar Tőkepiac, nationwide financial newspaper, under the effective laws, the effective Articles of Association dated April 7, 2010 or any court decision. However, the invitation to the General Meeting and the summary of the submissions and resolution proposals had been published in the Magyar Tőkepiac, nationwide financial newspaper in order to exclude or minimize potential legal disputes regarding the Companys announcements.
On the basis of the proxy instruments submitted to the Company, I state that proxies represent the shareholders legally. Shareholders who certified their shareholder status prior to the General Meeting, during registration by way of a securities account statement, issued to the name of the shareholder,
however, are not registered in the Shareholders Register, may participate the General Meeting but may not exercise voting rights.
Section 304 (3) of the Act IV of 2006 on Business Associations (hereinafter: the Companies Act) sets forth that shareholders are entitled to exercise their rights as shareholders whose names are registered in the Shareholders Register at the time of closing the Shareholders Register. Magyar Telekom Plc.s Articles of Association also contains a provision in compliance with these rules. In accordance with the provisions of the law and the Articles of Association, our Announcement for the Annual General Meeting published on March 11, 2011 we called the attention of our Shareholders to the fact that they might exercise their right of vote provided that they had been recorded in the Shareholders Register of the Company as owners of shares or nominees at least 6 working days before the General Meeting (i.e. on April 1, 2011 at the latest). The closing of the Shareholders Register does not restrict the right of the shareholder to transfer his shares after the closing of the Shareholders Register. A transfer of the shares before the date of the General Meeting does not restrict the right of the person registered in the Shareholders Register to participate the General Meeting and exercise his shareholders rights.
The General Meeting is conducted in Hungarian and in English languages with interpretation. The translator devices are available at the registration desk. I request the Shareholders to announce their name and the number of their voting device into the microphone that we provide in every case when contributing to the discussion. Please always use the microphone during your speech. Let me draw the Shareholders kind attention, that only those contributions will be registered in the minutes that are delivered with the use of the microphone. Taking the number of participants into account and in accordance with Section 6.13 (f) of the Articles of Association each contribution is limited to maximum 3 minutes per each shareholders contribution. In order to ensure reasonable time management I request the Shareholders to observe the said limit at each agenda point. The planned durance of the General Meeting is approximately 3 hours with a break.
I inform the Distinguished Shareholders that every time entering into Tölösi Conference Center, is only possible following the registration into the mobile entrance system with your entrance card. With regard to this, I request the Shareholders to keep their entrance card during the General Meeting with them and use it again to enter or re-enter the room.
I request the participants to agree to the proceedings of the General Meeting being recorded on tape. I ask the Shareholders whether there are any questions or remarks regarding this? The voting ratio necessary for adopting this resolution is simple majority. I put the proposal to the vote.
The result of the voting: the General Meeting has adopted the resolution with 671 337 059 affirmative votes (97.47%), 51 negative votes (0.00%), and 17 418 362 abstentions (2.53%), with the number of votes cast indicated by the computer and recorded in the minutes. (Voting ratios in proportion to the registered capital: Affirmative: 64.381861%, Negative: 0.000005%, Abstention: 1.670437%.)

Chairman: Thank you very much. I ask the Shareholders whether there are any questions or remarks regarding this agenda item? Please.
Klára Erdős shareholder: Thank you very much. Excuse me for speaking while sitting, but I have this dossier in my hand and I can not stand up with it. I am Klára Erdős and my voting device is no. 439. I would like to clarify an issue with regard to the interpretation of Section 5 of the Articles of Association. I am reading the amended and restated version and I read the following in Section 5.2.: Each shareholder has the right to attend the General Meeting, request information and make comments. Holders of voting shares have the right to make proposals and to vote. If I understand
correctly, before the beginning of the General Meeting the gentleman was a shareholder, but without voting rights, because he was not registered in the Shareholders Register. Do I understand it correctly?
Máthé Balázs: No, Mr. Kustra was not registered properly according to the published registration rules. So he has the same shares.
Klára Erdős shareholder: He was a shareholder without voting rights, but his shareholder status was not questioned.
Máthé Balázs: He has the same ordinary shares like You have, but it seems, that his securities account manager, I do not want to say the name, did not register him properly, in accordance with the requirements, therefore, he was not registered in the Shareholders Register, kept by KELER Zrt.
Klára Erdős shareholder: Right, so it is justified that he had to move somewhere else from the voting shareholders section, but I think that because of this he may not make a motion and may not vote because him, it is not about him, it can happen to any of us here so he could have made comments or asked questions. Because he is recognized as a shareholder, because he has shares although he may not exercise his right to make motions and ask questions at this General Meeting.
Balázs Máthé: Thank you for your remark. I think Your question is not connected to the proposed amendments of the Articles of Association.
Chairman: Yes. Other remark or question? If, there are none, I inform the Shareholders that the voting ratio necessary for adopting these resolutions is three-quarters majority.

Agenda item No. 9
Approval of the amended Rules of Procedures of the Supervisory Board
Chairman: I request dr. László Pap, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, to make known the submission.
dr. László Pap: Distinguished Shareholders! The proposed modifications prepared for the General Meeting is included in whole in the disclosed documents and in the handout has been distributed to the Shareholders. According to Section 34 (4) of the Act IV of 2006 on Business Associations (i.e. the Companies Act) and Section 8.4.1. of the Articles of Association, the Supervisory Board (i.e. the SB) establishes its own Rules of Procedure, which are approved by the General Meeting. The SB amended its Rules of Procedure at its meeting held on February 16, 2011 and submits it to the General Meeting for approval now. I briefly summarize the amended Sections:
1. According to Section 39 (1) of the Companies Act, I quote The employee representatives are nominated to the supervisory board by the workers council from among the employees, after hearing the opinion of the trade unions operating at the company. At Magyar Telekom Plc. (i.e. at the Company), in view of the number of employees, there are more Workers Councils operating, therefore, in accordance with the Labor Code, a Central Workers Council also has to be established from the delegates of the local Workers Councils. Employee representatives are nominated to the SB by the Central Workers Council.
