The Remuneration and Appointment Committee prepares the Non-Executive Directors' decision making on the selection and appointment, and the determination of remuneration, of the Directors.

3.2 Selection and appointment of the Directors

The Remuneration and Appointment Committee shall in any event focus on:

  1. drawing up selection criteria and appointment procedures for Directors;
  2. periodically assessing the size and composition of the Board of Directors, and making a proposal for the Board Profile;
  3. periodically assessing the functioning of individual Directors and report their findings to the Board of Directors;
  4. drawing up a plan for the succession of Directors, taking into account the Company's D&I policy;

When performing their duties, the members of the Remuneration and Appointment Committee may seek assistance or information from one or more advisers or experts appointed by it and at a price agreed upon with the Board of Directors, which will be paid by the Com- pany. If the Remuneration and Appointment Committee makes use of the services of a remuneration consultant in carrying out its duties, it shall verify that the consultant concerned does not provide advice to the Executive Directors.

The Remuneration and Appointment Committee is only entitled to exercise such powers as are explicitly attributed to it by the Board of Directors and it is never entitled to exercise powers beyond those exercisable by the Board of Directors as a whole.

The Remuneration and Appointment Committee can be requested to complete tasks that are not described in these Remuneration and Appointment Committee Rules, when explicitly attributed to the Remuneration and Appointment Committee by the Board of Directors from time to time.

3 • Remuneration and Appointment Committee Rules

The Remuneration and Appointment Committee shall submit a clear and understandable proposal to the Non-Executive Directors concerning the Remuneration Policy to be pursued regarding the Executive Directors. The Board of Directors will present the Remuneration Policy to the General Meeting for adoption.

The requirements set out in articles 2:383c to 2:383e (inclusive) DCC and the Dutch Code shall be taken into consideration when formulating the Remuneration Policy, including:

    1. the objectives of the strategy for the implementation of sustainable long-term value creation within the meaning of best practice provision 1.1.1 of the Dutch Code;
  1. the scenario analyses carried out in advance;
  2. the pay ratios within the Company and its affiliated business;
  3. the development of the market price of the shares of the Company;
  4. an appropriate ratio between the variable and fixed remuneration components. The variable remuneration component is linked to measurable performance criteria deter- mined in advance, which are predominantly long-term in character;
  5. if shares are being awarded, the terms and conditions governing this. Shares must be held for at least five (5) years after they are awarded; and
  6. if share options are being awarded, the terms and conditions governing this and the terms and conditions subject to which the share options can be exercised. In any case, share options cannot be exercised during the first three (3) years after they are awarded.

The Remuneration and Appointment Committee shall periodically assess the adequacy, overall consistency, and practical application of the Remuneration Policy.

The Remuneration and Appointment Committee shall submit a proposal to the Non-Executive Directors concerning the remuneration of the individual Executive Directors. The proposal will be drawn up in accordance with the Remuneration Policy that has been established for the Executive Directors and will in any event cover the remuneration structure, the amount of the fixed and variable remuneration components, the performance criteria used, the scenario analyses carried out and the pay ratios within the Company and its affiliated enterprise. Inadequate performance of duties will not be rewarded.

When drafting the proposal for the remuneration of Executive Directors, the Remuneration and Appointment Committee shall take note of individual Executive Directors' views with regard to the amount and structure of their own remuneration. The Remuneration and Appointment Committee shall ask the Executive Directors to pay attention to the aspects referred to in this article 3.3 of these Remuneration and Appointment Committee Rules. The Executive Directors' views on their own remuneration are intended for the Remuneration and Appointment Committee, and do not form part of the account given of the implementation of the Remuneration Policy.

The Executive Chairman will provide the Remuneration and Appointment Committee with all the information necessary to make a well-considered judgement on the remuneration of Executive Directors.

3.4 Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors

The remuneration of the Non-Executive Directors is determined by the General Meeting. The Non-Executive Directors shall submit a clear and understandable proposal for their own appropriate remuneration to the General Meeting. The remuneration of the Non-Executive Directors shall promote an adequate performance of their role and shall not be dependent on the results of the Company.

The remuneration of the Non-Executive Directors shall reflect the time spent and the responsibilities of their role.

Non-Executive Directors must not be awarded remuneration in the form of shares and/or

13

rights to shares.

Shares held by a Non-Executive Director in the capital of the Company will be long-term investments.
