Pursuant to the Put Option Agreement, LDA Capital agreed, amongst other things, to commit for a term of three years an amount of up to EUR 50,000,000 and to provide the Company an option to require LDA Capital to subscribe for new ordinary shares to be issued by the Company for an aggregate subscription amount equal to such amount. The Put Option Agreement is further described in the reports of the board of directors referred to in sections 1.1(a) and 1.2(a) of the agenda of this meeting. The Put Option Agreement provides (amongst other things) that it may be terminated forthwith during the commitment period (as defined in the Put Option Agreement) by LDA Capital Limited by giving written notice of such termination to the Company if there has been a material change in ownership (which has been defined as any sale or disposal of shares of the Company or other transaction or event which results in the officers and directors of the Company on the date of the Put Option Agreement owning, directly or indirectly, less than five the Company's shares in issue from time to time).
Proposed resolution: The general shareholders' meeting resolves to approve and ratify in accordance with article 7:151 of the Belgian Companies and Associations Code all clauses in the Put Option Agreement, which come into effect at the moment a change of control occurs, including, but not limited to, clause 9.2 of the Put Option Agreement, and which fall or could be considered to fall within the scope of article 7:151 of the Belgian Companies and Associations Code (relating to the granting of rights to third parties that substantially affect the Company's assets and liabilities, or give rise to a substantial debt or commitment on its behalf, when the exercise of these rights is subject to the launching of a public takeover bid on the shares of the Company or to a change in the control exercised over it). The general shareholders' meeting also grants a special power of attorney to each of the Company's directors, the Company's chief financial officer, and the Company's corporate secretary, each such person acting individually and with possibility of sub-delegation and the power of subrogation, to complete the formalities required by article 7:151 of the Belgian Companies and Associations Code with regard to this resolution, including, but not limited to, the execution of all documents and forms required for the publication of this resolution in the annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette.
