**RIGHT TO ATTEND THE MEETING IN PERSON OR BY PROXY**

The right to attend the General Shareholders' Meeting hereby called accrues to shareholders that hold at least 300 shares registered in their name in the corresponding book-entry register five days in advance of the date on which the Meeting is to be held and who provide evidence thereof by means of the appropriate attendance card or by producing a certificate issued by the Company or by any of the depositaries participating in Sociedad de Gestión de los Sistemas de Registro, Compensación y Liquidación de Valores, S.A.U. (IBERCLEAR), or by any other means allowed under applicable law.

Any shareholder having the right to attend the General Shareholders' Meeting may be represented thereat by another person, who need not be a shareholder. A proxy may be granted by using the proxy-granting form printed on the attendance card or by any other means allowed by law. The documents containing proxies for the General Shareholders' Meeting must set forth the instructions regarding the direction of the vote. Unless expressly stated otherwise by the shareholder granting the proxy, it shall be understood that the proxy-holder is specifically instructed to vote in favor of the proposed resolutions submitted by the Board of Directors regarding the matters on the Agenda, and against the resolution in question in relation to any matters that are not included in the Agenda and are thus unknown on the date that the proxy is granted but which may be submitted to a vote at the General Shareholders' Meeting.

If the proxy-granting document does not set forth a specific person to whom the shareholder grants the proxy, such proxy shall be deemed granted in favor of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company or of such other person as may replace him as Chair of the General Shareholders' Meeting. In the event that the appointed representative is involved in a conflict of interest upon voting on any of the proposals, whether or not included in the Agenda, that are submitted to the shareholders at the General Shareholders' Meeting, and the shareholder has not given specific voting instructions, the proxy shall be deemed granted to the Secretary for the General Shareholders' Meeting.

Shareholders who do not hold the minimum number of shares required to attend may grant a written proxy in respect thereof in favor of another shareholder having the right to attend or come together with other shareholders that are in the same situation, such that they reach the required number of shares, and grant a written proxy to one of such shareholders.

The Company will enable appropriate means to facilitate the access to the venue of the General Meeting to attendees with reduced mobility. There will also be a sign language interpreter to facilitate the monitoring of the proceedings at the General Meeting by persons with hearing impairment.

**REMOTE ATTENDANCE AT THE GENERAL MEETING**

Furthermore, pursuant to Articles 21 of the By-Laws and 18 of the Regulations for the General Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors has

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

![image_21.jpg](image_21.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

resolved that the Meeting can also be attended using electronic means that allow for a real-time connection with the venue where the Meeting is being held ("**Remote Attendance**").

The shareholders of the Company that wish to attend remotely the Meeting will have to access the "**Participation Platform**" (*Plataforma de Participación*) online app enabled in the "General Shareholders Meeting 2023 / Participation Platform" (*Junta General 2023/Plataforma de Participación*) site available on the Company's corporate website (<u>www.telefonica.com</u>) (the "**Website**"). Remote Attendance through the Participation Platform will be available from any device with access to the internet (including mobile phones and tablets).

Remote Attendance at the Meeting shall be subject to the following basic rules, and to the extent not expressly provided for, to the provisions set forth on the Company's corporate website, to the provisions of law, to the By-Laws and to the Regulations for the General Shareholders' Meeting:

a)<u>Prior registration</u> 

Shareholders (or their proxy-holders) must have registered previously into the Participation Platform to be able to attend to the Meeting remotely. For that purpose, they must, between 0:00 hours on March 25, 2023 and midnight (24:00 hours) on March 29, 2023, provide evidence of their identity in the Participation Platform for such purpose by means of: (i) an Electronic National Identity Document, (ii) a recognized, valid and current electronic user certificate, as provided in Law 6/2020, of November 11, regulating certain aspects of electronic trust services, issued by the Spanish Public Certification Body (CERES), a division of the Spanish Royal Mint (*Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre*), or (iii) filling out the authentication form available on the Participation Platform, which form requires identification with their National Identity Document, Alien Registration Card (*Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero*) or passport and, if appropriate, a statement of the number of shares owned (including co-owned shares). In this latter case, provided that there are no technical obstacles, the Company will perform a real-time verification of the data provided by the shareholder, comparing them to the information available thereto. The Company reserves the right to request such additional means of identification from shareholders as it deems necessary to verify their status as shareholders and to guarantee the authenticity of remote attendance at the General Shareholders' Meeting.

b)<u>Connection and attendance</u>

Pursuant to the provisions of the Regulations for the General Shareholders' Meeting, and in order to ensure proper management of the remote attendance systems, shareholders (or their proxy-holders) wishing to attend the Meeting and vote by remote means of communication must access the "Remote Attendance" online app included into the Participation Platform by identifying themselves with their identification document number and the password chosen during the prior registration process referred to in section a) above and must connect between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on the day the meeting is held. No access by attendees will be allowed outside of this time period.

If applicable, on March 30, 2023, after verifying the lack of a sufficient quorum to hold the General Meeting, the Company shall publish this circumstance on

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

![image_21.jpg](image_21.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

the Website, confirming that the Meeting will ultimately be held on second call. In this case, attendees who have accessed the "Remote Attendance" online app included into the Participation Platform on first call must access again on March 31, 2023, between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., as explained in the preceding paragraph.

If the person attending remotely has been granted proxies, and provided that they were received by the Company within the periods established for such purpose, the "Remote Attendance" online app included into the Participation Platform will present them to such person for acceptance. For this purpose, as indicated in the preceding sections, shareholders wishing to be represented at the General Shareholders' Meeting by another person who is going to attend remotely must have previously informed the Company of such proxy representation by electronic means (via the Website, by telephone (900 111 004) or by e-mail to <u>accionistas@telefonica.com</u>) or by postal correspondence (by sending it to the attention of the Shareholder Office (Distrito Telefónica, Ronda de la Comunicación s/n, Edificio Central, planta 2, 28050 Madrid)).

The presiding committee of the General Shareholders' Meeting, and the Notary, if any, shall have direct access to the Participation Platform, so that they are directly and immediately aware of communications made by shareholders attending remotely and the statements they make.

Shareholders (or their proxy-holders) who have accessed the "Remote Attendance" online app included into the Participation Platform to attend remotely and who wish to leave the General Shareholders' Meeting by stating it for the record before the Notary may do so by following the procedure provided for this purpose in the software application. Once they have communicated their express desire to leave the meeting, all of their subsequent actions will be deemed to have not occurred.

For those persons who attend the Meeting remotely, the "Remote Attendance" online app included into the Participation Platform will be shut down at the end of the General Meeting or, if applicable, if it is verified that there is not a sufficient quorum to hold the meeting.

c)<u>Presentations</u>

Shareholders (or their proxy-holders) who, in the exercise of their rights, intend to make presentations at the Meeting or, if applicable, request information or clarifications regarding the items on the Agenda, request clarifications regarding information accessible to the public that has been provided by the Company to the Spanish National Securities Market Commission since the holding of the last General Shareholders' Meeting or regarding the statutory auditor's report, or to make proposals in those cases allowed by law, shall state their intention to do so at the time they access the "Remote Attendance" online app included into the Participation Platform as set forth in section b) above. After said statement and until the Chair declares the valid establishment of the Meeting, remote attendees may submit and send their presentation, question or proposal in writing exclusively through the presentation form made available for this purpose. A remote attendee who wants their presentation to appear in the minutes of the Meeting must so expressly state in the text of such presentation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

![image_21.jpg](image_21.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

If the General Meeting is held on second call, remote attendees who have connected to the meeting on first call and who have submitted presentations and proposed resolutions or requests for information or clarifications must send them again, as stated above, on the day that the meeting is held; otherwise they shall be deemed to have not been submitted.

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 182 of the Companies Act, requests for information or clarification submitted by remote attendees may be answered verbally during the General Shareholders' Meeting or in writing within seven days after the Meeting is held.

d)<u>Voting</u>

Votes on the proposals regarding items included on the Agenda may be cast as from the time that the Chair declares the valid establishment of the Meeting, and provided that the attendee has accessed the "Remote Attendance" online app included into the Participation Platform in accordance with the procedure set forth in b) above.

As to proposed resolutions on those matters that by law are not required to appear on the Agenda, remote attendees may cast their votes as from the time stated by the Chair, once the proposal has been submitted and read aloud.

In any event, the process of remote voting regarding all of the proposals submitted at the Meeting will end when the vote on the proposed resolutions commences at the venue where the meeting is held after the Secretary of the Meeting has read aloud the summaries of the proposed resolutions.

The procedure set forth in the By-Laws and in the Regulations for the General Shareholders' Meeting shall apply to voting on proposed resolutions.

e)<u>Other matters</u>

Legal entities and non-residents of Spain must ask the Shareholder Office (<u>accionistas@telefonica.com</u>) to adjust, with appropriate guarantees, the mechanisms for attending the Meeting through remote means of communication in real time.

In cases of co-owners of a deposit of securities, the first of them to register (whether physically or remotely) shall be deemed an attendee, and therefore any subsequent access by the other co-owners shall be rejected. In this regard, and for purposes of Section 126 of the Companies Act, it is presumed that the co-owner who first registers (physically or remotely) has been designated by the other co-owners to exercise the shareholder rights.

It is the sole responsibility of the shareholder (or their proxy-holder) to maintain custody of the means of identification required for accessing and using the remote attendance service. A legal entity must give notice of any change in or revocation of the powers held by its representative, and the Company therefore declines any responsibility until such notice is given.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**PROXY-GRANTING AND VOTING BY REMOTE MEANS OF COMMUNICATION PRIOR TO THE MEETING**

Pursuant to Articles 20 and 25 of the By-Laws and 13 and 22 of the Regulations for the General Shareholders' Meeting and to the resolution adopted by the Board of Directors as permitted by the aforementioned provisions, the exercise of proxy representation and voting rights prior to the General Meeting by remote means of communication shall be governed by the following provisions:

1.- <u>Proxy-granting or voting prior to the General Shareholders' Meeting by electronic means through the Participation Platform.</u>

Shareholders wishing to grant a proxy or to cast their vote by electronic means prior to the holding of the General Shareholders' Meeting must access the "Proxy-granting / voting prior to the GSM by electronic means" online app included into the **"Participation Platform"** (*Plataforma de Participación*) enabled in the "General Shareholders Meeting 2023 / Participation Platform" (*Junta General 2023/Plataforma de Participación*) site available on the Company's corporate website (<u>www.telefonica.com</u>) and follow the instructions to grant a proxy or to exercise their right to vote prior to the General Shareholders' Meeting that are specified therein.

To such end, shareholders must provide evidence of their identity in the "Proxy-granting / voting prior to the GSM by electronic means" online app included into the Participation Platform by means of: (i) the Electronic National Identity Document, (ii) a recognized, valid and current electronic user certificate, as provided in Law 6/2020, of November 11, regulating certain aspects of electronic trust services, issued by the Spanish Public Certification Body (CERES), a division of the Spanish Royal Mint (*Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre*), or (iii) filling out the authentication form available on the Participation Platform, which form requires identification with their National Identity Document, Alien Registration Card (*Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjer*o) or passport and a statement of the number of shares owned (including co-owned shares). In this latter case, provided that there are no technical obstacles, the Company will perform a real-time verification of the data provided by the shareholder, comparing them to the information available thereto. The Company reserves the right to request such additional means of identification from shareholders as it deems necessary to verify their status as shareholders and to guarantee the authenticity of the proxy-granting and the vote.

Furthermore, shareholders who are natural persons may also grant their proxy or cast their vote prior to the holding of the General Shareholders' Meeting by calling the telephone number of the Shareholder Office 900 111 004.

Shareholders who are natural persons and who choose to grant their proxy or cast their vote by telephone must identify themselves by stating the number of their National Identity Document, Alien Registration Card or passport and the number of shares they own (including co-owned shares), which the Company will verify in real time if there are no technical obstacles, comparing the information provided by the shareholders to the information available thereto.

For all purposes, including with respect to the rules of priority among proxies, distance voting prior to the General Meeting and attendance, and the deadlines to grant a proxy or cast a distance vote, proxies granted and votes cast by

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

![image_21.jpg](image_21.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

telephone shall be deemed proxies and distance votes sent by electronic means, pursuant to the provisions of Article 20.4 of the By-Laws.

If deemed appropriate to mitigate the risk of identity theft, the Company may send a written notice by postal correspondence to the address appearing in the records of IBERCLEAR or of the Company advising of the remote participation of those shareholders granting their proxy or casting a distance vote using any of the alternatives described above.

2.- <u>Proxy-granting or voting prior to the General Shareholders' Meeting by postal or electronic correspondence.</u>

Shareholders wishing to grant a proxy or to cast their vote by postal correspondence may complete and sign the proxy-granting or distance voting card prepared by the Company and send it to the attention of the Shareholder Office (Distrito Telefónica, Ronda de la Comunicación s/n, Edificio Central, planta 2, 28050 Madrid). The proxy-granting or distance voting card may also be sent to the Company by e-mail to <u>accionistas@telefonica.com</u>.

A shareholder may also grant a proxy or vote through cards issued by depositaries. In this case, the shareholder must complete the sections relating to proxy-granting or distance voting, if any, on the card issued by the depositary, and send it by postal correspondence to the Company, to the attention of the Shareholder Office (Distrito Telefónica, Ronda de la Comunicación s/n, Edificio Central, planta 2, 28050 Madrid). The proxy-granting or distance voting card may also be sent to the Company by e-mail to <u>accionistas@telefonica.com</u>.

Shareholders that are legal entities must send to the Company a photocopy of a power of attorney with sufficient powers evidencing the authority of the individual signing the proxy-granting or distance voting card in the name of the legal entity.

If a proxy is granted to a person other than one of the members of the Board of Directors, the proxy-holder who intends to attend the meeting in person must deliver a copy of the proxy-granting card at the entry doors on the day of the General Shareholders' Meeting.

If the shareholder wishes to revoke the proxy granted, he/she should contact the Company at the Shareholder Office (phone no.: 900 111 004 / e-mail: <u>accionistas@telefonica.com</u>), before 24:00 hours (midnight) on March 29, 2023.

Shareholders may obtain the Company's proxy-granting or distance voting card by downloading and printing it from the Website, by retrieving it from the registered office of the Company, or by requesting the Shareholder Office (phone no.: 900 111 004 / e-mail: <u>accionistas@telefonica.com</u>) to send it without charge.

3.- <u>Provisions common to the exercise of proxy-granting or voting rights by remote means of communication.</u>

a)<u>Deadline for receipt by the Company and verification of shareholder status.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

![image_21.jpg](image_21.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

In order to be valid, both the proxies granted and the votes cast prior to the General Shareholders' Meeting by remote means of communication (whether by electronic means or by postal correspondence) must be received by the Company before midnight on March 29, 2023.

The proxy or distance vote shall only be deemed to be valid if the status as shareholder is confirmed, through verification of the fact that the ownership information and the number of shares provided by each person granting a proxy or voting by remote means of communication are the same as the data provided by IBERCLEAR. In the event of a discrepancy between the number of shares reported by the shareholder and the number set forth in the IBERCLEAR file, the number of shares provided by IBERCLEAR shall prevail for purposes of quorum and voting.

In the event of co-ownership of shares, the person granting the proxy or casting the vote from a distance shall be deemed to have been appointed to exercise the shareholder rights, if such person is one of the co-owners.

b)<u>Rules of priority between proxy-granting and voting by remote means of communication and attendance at the General Shareholders' Meeting.</u>

Attendance at the General Shareholders' Meeting by a shareholder who has previously granted a proxy or voted by remote means of communication (whether by electronic means or by postal correspondence) shall render null and void the proxy granted or the vote cast.

In the event that a shareholder grants several proxies and/or casts several votes (whether by electronic means or by postal correspondence), the action (proxy-granting or voting) taken last shall prevail. If the time when the shareholder granted the proxy or cast the vote is uncertain, the vote (regardless of the means used to cast it) shall prevail over the proxy-granting. If the shareholder casts several votes in different directions, by electronic or postal means, the vote cast last shall prevail.

***Proposal regarding Item IV on the Agenda: Reduction of share capital through the cancellation of own shares, excluding the right of creditors to object, amending the text of Article 6 of the By-Laws relating to share capital.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To reduce the share capital of Telefónica, S.A.

The reduction in share capital will not entail a return of contributions to the shareholders, since the Company itself is the owner of the shares which, where appropriate, will be cancelled, and will be made with a charge to unrestricted reserves, by means of the funding of a reserve for cancelled share capital in an amount equal to the par value of the cancelled shares (i.e., in the amount of 24,779,409 euros), which may only be used in compliance with the same requirements as those established for a reduction in share capital, by application of the provisions of Section 335 c) of the Companies Act (*Ley de Sociedades de Capital*).

Accordingly, as laid down in such section, the creditors of the Company will not have the right to oppose the reduction provided for in Section 334 of the Companies Act in connection with the approved reduction in share capital.

It is hereby stated for the record, in order to comply with the provisions of Section 411.1 of the Companies Act, that the consent of the bondholders' syndicate for the outstanding issues of debentures and bonds is not required, since the approved capital reduction does not reduce the original ratio between the sum of capital plus reserves and the amount of the debentures pending repayment.

The capital reduction must be implemented within one year from the adoption of this resolution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To authorize the Board of Directors so that, within a period of one year from the adoption of this resolution, it may determine those circumstances that have not been expressly established in this resolution or that are a result thereof, and to adopt the resolutions, take the actions and execute the public or private documents that may be necessary or appropriate for the full execution of the approved reduction in share capital, including, by way of example, publication of the legally required notices, submission of the appropriate applications and giving the appropriate notices to delist the cancelled shares from the Stock Exchange. The delegation includes the power to amend the text of Article 6 of the By-Laws relating to share capital.

The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to in turn delegate to the Executive Commission or the Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors the powers referred to in this resolution, without prejudice to the powers of attorney that may be granted to any person for specific acts of execution.
