1. Transfer of registered office – Amendment to the articles of association

Proposed resolution: The meeting resolves to establish the company's registered office in the Flemish Region and to transfer the company's address from presently 1200 Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe, Neerveldstraat 107 to 2800 Mechelen, Liersesteenweg 4, it being understood that the company's address will no longer be mentioned in the articles of association, and as a consequence replace the text of Article 3: Registered office of the articles of association by the following text:

  • "3.1. The company's registered office is established in the Flemish Region.
  • 3.2. By simple resolution of the board of directors the address of the company's registered office can be transferred within Belgium, insofar this transfer will cause no change in the linguistic regime applicable on the company.

Such resolution entails no amendment to the articles of association, unless the registered office is transferred to another Region.

The company's address can be transferred in the Flemish Region by a simple board resolution, and is made public in the Annexes to the Belgian Official Journal (Bijlagen bij het Belgisch Staatsblad).

3.3. The company can, by simple resolution of the board of directors, establish additional administrative or operating offices, as well as offices and branches, both in Belgium and abroad."
