Resolution 5: Appointment of Fernando Zuñiga to the Management Board as Managing Director

Because the resolution was not added to the official agenda published in Dutch papers on time, in accordance with Dutch law, the voting result on this resolution is void. The resolution is not passed. The resolution will be added to the agenda of the next general meeting which will be convened in due course.

Resolution 6: Extension of the Term of the Supervisory Board, Reappointment

The Chairman proposes to extend the term of the members of the Supervisory Board by four years.

Mr. Ulf Holländer (Supervisory Director C), Dr John Benjamin Schroeder (Supervisory Director B), Mr Kjell Roland (Supervisory Director A), Mrs. Kathryn Baker (Supervisory Director A), and Mrs. Ellen Hanetho (Supervisory Director A), all jointly referred to as Supervisory Directors, were the only members of the Supervisory Board during the financial year 2023. The current term of the Supervisory Directors ends after the annual general meeting in 2025 is held. It is proposed to already address the proposed reappointment of the Supervisory Directors at the 2024 AGM. All Supervisory Directors are eligible and available for a four-year reappointment.

The Supervisory Board is submitting a nomination for the reappointment of the proposed Supervisory Directors A (Kjell Roland, Kathryn Baker and Ellen Hanetho) and the proposed Supervisory Director C (Ulf Holländer). The nomination for the reappointment of the proposed Supervisory Directors A and C is based on the outstanding way they have performed their role as Supervisory Board members. Their industry knowledge, extensive experience, as

well as a good understanding of the challenges our industry is facing continue to be of great value to MPC Energy Solutions.

The proposed Supervisory Director B (Dr John Benjamin Schroeder) is appointed by MPC Capital Beteiligungs- gesellschaft mbH, in accordance with the articles of association of MPC Energy Solutions N.V. The appointment of the proposed Supervisory Director B is therefore not part of the resolution of the general meeting of MPC Energy Solutions N.V.

The Chairman proposes to extend the term of the Supervisory Directors A and C by four years and thus reappoint such Supervisory Directors effective as of the date of the ending of their current term, with the new term ending after the annual general meeting in 2029 is held.
