Proposal, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee and upon presentation to the Works Council, to appoint KPMG Réviseurs d'Entreprises SRL (B00001), Luchthaven Brussel Nationaal 1K, 1930 Zaventem (Belgium) as statutory auditor for a period of 3 years to carry out the audit of the sustainability information and issue its limited assurance report, as set forth in Directive (EU) 2022/2464 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022 amending Regulation (EU) No 537/2014, Directive 2004/109/EC, Directive 2006/43/EC and Directive 2013/34/EU, as regards corporate sustainability reporting (CSRD) as will be implemented into Belgian law.
This contractual appointment, in the absence of a legal basis in Belgian law, arises from the imminent transposition of the CSRD and the corresponding assurance obligation, in accordance with the terms of the CSRD and its transposition, for reporting from the financial year ending 31 December 2024. Once the transposition into Belgian law has taken place, the auditor's contractual mandate will become a legal mandate.

These fees will be adjusted each year in line with changes in the health index. Any direct costs contracted specifically with third parties as a result of the performance of the services of KPMG Réviseurs d'Entreprises SRL are not included in the fees, and will be invoiced in addition, including the variable contributions based on turnover (including the contribution per mandate) that KPMG Réviseurs d'Entreprises SRL is obliged to pay to the Institut des Réviseurs d'Entreprises.
