------ ---------------- ----------------- --

In respect of the provisions laid down under Article 520ter of the Companies Code concerning variable remuneration for the members of the Management Committee and the need to defer variable remuneration payments over a three year period in case certain thresholds are passed, the Board of Directors states the following:

  • The principle of a deferral over a three year period of variable remuneration $\bullet$ payment would only be applicable to the Managing Director and CEO, Olivier Chapelle SPRL, as all other members of the Management Committee remain below the 25% threshold ;
  • The Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors reviewed the situation again and decided that it would remain in the best interest of the company to keep the variable remuneration payment structure at the same level for all Management Committee members;

Taking the above into consideration and as the target variable remuneration bonus payout for the Managing Director and CEO surpasses the 25% maximum threshold, the Board of Directors proposes to the General Shareholders' meeting to approve the said deviation from the principle of a deferral over three years, and hence to allow the full payment of the variable remuneration within one year.

Resolution No 6.5. : Approval of the deviation from the principle of a deferral over three years to allow, for the benefit of the Managing Director and CEO, Olivier Chapelle SPRL, the full payment of the variable remuneration within one year.

FOR: AGAINST: ABSTAIN .

New edition of the Stock Option Plan of the Recticel Group.

The Board of Directors intends to issue in 2019, within the framework of the authorised capital, a new edition of the Stock Option Plan of the Recticel Group. To this effect, it requests the authorisation of the General Meeting, not through any legal obligation but in accordance with the 2009 Code of Corporate Governance.

Resolution No 7.1 : The Meeting gives its authorisation to the Board of Directors so that, if appropriate, it can issue a new edition of the Stock Option Plan of the Recticel Group in favour of the senior managers of the Recticel Group. If the Board of Directors decides to do this, the new edition will include the issue of a maximum of 500,000 stock options, with a period for exercising the option of three to maximum nine years and an unavailability period of three years, to be allocated to the beneficiaries free of charge. The issue price will be fixed on the basis of the average price of a Recticel share over the normal period preceding the offer.

10. Proposal forming the subject of the eight resolution:

The Recticel Group's Stock Option Plans of December 2012, April 2014, June 2015, April 2016 and June 2017 (warrant plans December 2012, April 2014, June 2015, April 2016, June 2017) issued by the Board of Directors Administration contain clause 6.2. which gives the beneficiaries the right to exercise their warrants, if applicable under the conditions determined by the Board of Directors, immediately in the event of a change of control (that is, in the event of a transfer, in one or more transactions, more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting rights) or in the case of the launch of a public share purchase offer.
