AGENDA OF THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

1) Renewal and replacement of the authorisation concerning the authorised capital

  1. Acknowledgment of the report of the sole director established pursuant to article 7:199 of the Code of companies and associations

As this agenda item is for information only, no proposal resolution is included concerning this agenda item.

b) Renewal and replacement of the authorisation concerning the authorised capital

The sole director clarifies that the purpose of the requested authorisation is to enable the sole director to act swiftly and flexibly in relation to the following types of capital increases: sub-agenda item (a): public capital increase (so-called 'right issue'), sub-agenda item (b): capital increase following the offer of an optional dividend, and sub-agenda item (c): other types of capital increases, in particular but not limited to, contribution in kind of assets and an accelerated private placement of new shares with qualified and/or institutional investors.

Proposed resolution: The extraordinary general meeting decides to renew the authorisation granted to the sole director, published in the Annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette of 26 May 2021, and to replace it with a new authorisation, for a period of five years as from the publication of this decision in the Annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette, to increase the capital, in one or several instalments, on the dates and under the conditions it shall determine, with a maximum amount of:

  1. for public capital increases by contribution in cash whereby the option is provided for the shareholders of the Company to exercise the preferential subscription right or the irreducible allocation right: 50% of the amount of the capital on the date of the extraordinary general meeting that approves the authorisation,
  2. for capital increase in the framework of the distribution of an optional dividend: 50% of the amount of the capital on the date of the extraordinary general meeting that approves the authorisation,

1

  1. for capital increases by way of (i) contribution in kind (other than as referred to in paragraph (b) above),
    1. contribution in cash without the possibility for the shareholders of the Company to exercise the preferential right or irreducible allocation right, or (iii) any other kind of capital increase: 10% of the

amount of the capital on the date of the extraordinary general meeting that approves the authorisation, it being understood that the capital within the context of the authorised capital can, in total, never be increased with an amount higher than the capital on the date of the extraordinary meeting that approves the authorisation.

As from the publication of this authorisation in the Annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette, the existing authorisation regarding the authorised capital, as published in the annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette of 26 May 2021, will lapse and be replaced by the proposed authorisation.

Should the proposed authorisation or the new text of the articles of association not be approved, the existing authorisation with regard to the authorised capital, as published in the annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette of 26 May 2021, will continue to apply.

On 10 January 2023 the FSMA has approved the proposed authorisation and the according amendments of the articles of association, subject to the decision of the extraordinary general meeting.

This proposed resolution is subject to a special majority of at least three-quarters of the votes cast, where abstentions are neither included in the numerator nor in the denominator. At least half of the capital must be present or represented for the extraordinary general meeting to validly deliberate and decide on this proposal.

Following this new authorisation, article 6.3 of the articles of association is replaced by the following text:

"6.3 Authorised capital

The board of directors is authorised to increase the capital in one or several instalments on the dates and in accordance with the conditions as it will determine, in accordance with applicable law, by a maximum amount of

  1. one hundred eighty-three million six hundred seventy-six thousand four hundred fifty-five euros and twenty cents (€ 183,676,455.20) for public capital increase by way of contribution in cash whereby the possibility is provided for the exercise of the preferential subscription right or the irreducible allocation right by the shareholders of the Company;
  2. one hundred eighty-three million six hundred seventy-six thousand four hundred fifty-five euros and twenty cents (€ 183,676,455.20) for capital increases in the framework of the distribution of an optional dividend;
  3. thirty-sixmillion seven hundred thirty-five thousand two hundred ninety-one euros and four cents (€ 36,735,291.04) for capital increases by way of (i) contribution in kind (other than as referred to in paragraph (b) above), (ii) contribution in cash without the possibility for the shareholders of the

Company to exercise the preferential right or irreducible allocation right, or (iii) any other kind of capital increase,

it being understood that, in any event, the board of directors will never be able to increase the capital by more than the maximum amount of three hundred sixty-seven million three hundred fifty-two thousand nine hundred and ten euro and thirty-nine eurocents (€ 367,352,910.39).

This authorisation is granted for a period of five (5) years from the publication of the minutes of the extraordinary general meeting of [to complete: date].

In the event of a capital increase accompanied by a payment or placement of an issue premium, only the amount subscribed to the capital shall be deducted from the usable permanent amount of the authorised capital. When capital increases decided to under these authorisations include an issue premium, the amount thereof should be booked on one or more own separate equity accounts on the liabilities side of the balance sheet.

The capital increases thus decided by the board of directors can be carried out by way of a contribution in cash or contribution in kind in accordance with the applicable legislation, or by way of an incorporation of reserves or issue premiums with or without creation of new shares. The capital increases may give rise to the issue of shares with or without voting rights. These capital increases may also be made by issuing convertible bonds or subscription rights - whether or not attached to another movable asset - which may give rise to the issue of shares with or without voting rights.

2

Capital increases by way of a contribution in kind are carried out in accordance with the conditions set out in the RREC Legislation and in accordance with the conditions set out in the articles of association. Such contributions may also relate to the dividend right in the context of the distribution of an optional dividend.

The board of directors is entitled to cancel or limit the preferential right of the shareholders, even if this benefits particular persons other than employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, insofar as and to the extent required by the RREC Legislation, an irreducible allocation right is granted to the existing shareholders when allocating new securities. Where applicable this irreducible right of attribution complies with the conditions set out in the RREC Legislation and the articles of association. Without prejudice to the application of the applicable regulations, the aforementioned restrictions in the context of the cancellation or limitation of the preferential right shall not apply in case of contribution in cash with cancellation or limitation of the preferential right, (i) in the context of the authorised capital where the cumulative amount of the capital increases carried out in accordance with article 26, §1, third paragraph RREC legislation over a period of twelve (12) months, does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the amount of capital at the time of the capital increase decision, or (ii) following a contribution in kind in the context of the distribution of an optional dividend to the extent that this is effectively made payable to all shareholders.

2) Authorisation on authorised capital in case of a public takeover bid

  1. Acknowledgement of the report of the sole director established pursuant to article 7:199 of the Code of companies and associations

As this is for information only, no proposed resolution is included concerning this agenda item.

b) Authorisation on authorised capital in case of a public takeover bid

Proposed resolution: The general meeting resolves in accordance with article 7:202 of the Code of companies and association to grant an authorisation, for a period of three (3) years, from the date of this extraordinary general meeting to the sole director to proceed with one or more capital increases in the event of a public takeover bid after receipt by the Company of the notice referred to in article 7:202 of the code of companies and associations.

Following this new authorisation following final paragraph will be added to article 6.3 of the articles of association:

"Without prejudice to the authorisation granted to the board of directors as set out in the preceding paragraphs, the extraordinary general meeting of [to complete: date] authorised the board of directors, for a period of three (3) years as from the aforementioned extraordinary general meeting, to proceed with one or more capital increases in the event of a public takeover bid, under the conditions provided for in the applicable legislation and in accordance with, as the case may be, the irreducible allocation right set forth in the RREC regulation. The capital increases carried out by the board of directors pursuant to the aforementioned authorisation, are charged on the capital still available for use in accordance with this article. This authorisation does not limit the powers of the board of directors to proceed with other operations using the authorised capital other than those provided in article 7:202 of the Code of companies and associations."

  1. Authorisation to acquire, pledge and transfer own shares to avoid serious and imminent damage to the Company
    Proposed resolution: The general meeting decides to grant an authorisation in relation to the acquisition, pledge and transfer of own shares to avoid serious and imminent damage to the company, for a period of three (3) years form the publication of this resolution in the Annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette and further completes article 6.4 of the articles of association as follows:
    "The board of directors is in particular authorised to, on behalf of the Company, for a period of three (3) years as from the publication in the Annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette of the decision of the extraordinary general meeting, acquire, pledge and transfer own shares of the Company without the prior decision of the general meeting, in case such acquisition, pledge or transfer is necessary to avoid serious and imminent damage to the Company."
