to whom the Principal grants all powers to represent the latter at the Ordinary General Meeting of shareholders of "AEDIFICA", to be held at hotel Hilton Brussels Grand Place, Europakruispunt 3 / Carrefour de l'Europe 3, 1000 Brussels, on 9 May 2023 at 15:00 hours (CEST), to deliberate on the agenda and to vote on the Principal's behalf in accordance with the voting instructions indicated below.
In order to be admitted to the General Meeting, the proxy holders need to provide proof of their identity, and the representatives or special proxy holders of legal entities must attach to the present proxy form the supporting documents establishing their power of representation, or submit such documents at the latest directly prior to the start of the meeting. In the absence thereof, the undersigned declares and certifies to Aedifica NV to have the necessary power of attorney to sign this form on behalf of the shareholder.
The proxy holder is expressly permitted to:
If no voting instruction has been expressed, the proxy holder shall vote in favour of the resolution, or in case the Principal has deleted the foregoing phrase ("the proxy holder shall vote in favour of the resolution"), the proxy holder shall vote in the best interests of the shareholder, based on the deliberations. In case of a potential conflict of interest in the meaning of article Article 7:143, §4 of the Code of companies and associations, the proxy holder shall only be allowed to vote when having been provided with specific voting instructions for each agenda item.
In case new items or proposals for resolution are put on the agenda pursuant to Article 7:130 of the Code of companies and associations ((for more detailed information in this regard, please refer to the Company's website (https://aedifica.eu/investors/shareholder-information/), the Company will make available an updated proxy form on its website no later than 24 April 2023. In such case, the Company strongly recommends using the updated proxy form. If a proxy was provided to the Company with respect to the initial agenda and no updated proxy form in respect of the amended agenda would be received (in time) by the Company, the following rules will apply:

If the Principal has not ticked either of these boxes or if the Principal has ticked both boxes, the proxy holder must abstain from voting on the new agenda items and the attendant proposed resolutions that would be included in the agenda of the General Meeting.
This proxy is also valid for any other General Meeting that might be convened with the same agenda. However, this only applies in so far as the Principal has complied in due time with the required participation and voting formalities for subsequent meetings.
The proxy holder shall exercise the voting right of the Principal as follows (see agenda as published in the Belgian State Gazette, L'Echo and De Tijd and on the website https://aedifica.eu/investors/shareholder-information/):
