Proposed resolution: The general meeting decides to fix, as from the financial year commencing 1 January 2023 and until further notice, the remuneration of the members of the supervisory board as follows and to adjust the remuneration policy accordingly:
The current remunerations of the members of the supervisory board and of the specialised committees set up in the lap of the supervisory board, were previously approved at the annual general meeting of 29 April 2020. The supervisory board invited the nomination and remuneration committee to commission a benchmark analysis to assess the competitiveness of the remuneration (both in terms of level and structure) of the members of the supervisory board and specialised committees. The comparison was made with a sample covering all BELMID companies. The changes proposed above correspond to a more competitive positioning compared to the median of this sample (given the significant time commitment of specific functions) and bring the structure more in line with market practice.
In the framework of the financing of the Company's activities, Intervest Offices & Warehouses NV entered into additional (re)financing agreements in 2022, namely, (i) a revolving credit for an amount of € 40.000.000 between the Company as borrower and ABN Amro as lender , (ii) two roll over credits by means of fixed term advances for an amount of € 15.000.000 each between the Company as borrower and Belfius Bank NV as lender, (iii) an additional credit for an amount of € 25.000.000 under the Green Finance Framework between the Company as borrower and ING Belgium NV as lender , (iv) an issue of a green bond for € 45.000.000 also under the Green Finance Framework , (v) a US private placement for an amount of € 50.000.000 with a US insurer as lender and the Company as borrower; (i) to (v) are together referred to hereinafter as the "Financing Agreements".
Proposed resolution: The general meeting agrees , with the application of Section 7:151 of the Companies and Associations Code that certain provisions of the Financing Agreements grant rights to third parties that affect the Company's assets, or create a debt or liability against the Company, the exercise of which is conditional upon a change of control (as defined in the respective Financing Agreements) over (or a public takeover bid for) the Company.
