The shareholder also grants all powers to the proxy holder (i) to cast all votes, (ii) to accept or reject all amendments, (iii) to sign all deeds, minutes and attendance lists, (iv) to make all declarations, including a declaration of renunciation of terms and formalities of convening, as provided under Articles 533 and 535 CoC, (v) to substitute and (vi) to generally do everything that is necessary or useful, even without being stated explicitly.

Shareholders who wish to be represented must conform to the admission formalities of prior registration and notification as described in the convening notice published by Deceuninck. For the calculation of the instructions with regard to quorum and majority, only the proxies that were filed by shareholders who meet the formalities determined in Article 536, §2 CoC, which are to be met in order to be authorised to attend the meeting, are taken into account.
Shareholders of a company the shares of which are allowed to be traded on a market as determined in Article 4 CoC, are only allowed to appoint one single person as proxy holder for a determined General Meeting.
Without prejudice to Article 549, paragraph two CoC, the proxy holder can cast his vote in conformity with the possible instructions received by the shareholder. The proxy holder is to keep a register of the voting instructions for at least a year, and is to confirm at the shareholder's request that he abided by the voting instructions.
The proxy forms transmitted to the Company before the publishing of a completed agenda, as may be the case, remain valid for the initial items listed on the agenda for which they are valid.
Contrary hereto, the proxy holder may deviate during the General Meeting from the possible voting instructions given by the shareholder, if any, for items listed on the agenda for which new proposals for resolution have been entered, in the event that executing the voting instructions could harm the shareholder's interests.
It is pointed out to the shareholders that in the event the shareholder appoints any of the hereafter mentioned categories of proxy holders, the provisions of section 547 bis, § 4 CoC will be applicable : (i) the company itself, an entity controlled by the company, a shareholder who controls the company or any other entity that is controlled by such shareholder; (ii) a member of the Board of Directors, of a management body of the company, of a shareholder who controls the company or any other controlling entity referred to under (i); (iii) an employee or a company auditor of the company or of the shareholder who controls the company or of any other controlling entity referred to under (i); (iv) a person who has a parental bond with a natural person mentioned under (i) to (iii) or who is the spouse of or is legally cohabiting with such person or with a family member of such person.
