Proposed resolution : decision to decrease the company's share capital with an amount definitively to be determined by the general shareholders' meeting, upon proposal of the board of directors, equal to the product of the number of outstanding and existing shares at the date of the extraordinary shareholders' meeting resolving upon the capital decrease and four euro fifty eurocents (€4.50) (such amount of four euro fifty eurocents hereinafter referred to as the "Benefit") as a result of which the company's share capital shall be reduced by an amount definitively to be decided upon by the general meeting, upon proposal of the board of directors, as mentioned above, without a decrease in the number of shares.
The purpose of this capital decrease is to, subject to the conditions of Articles 612 and 613 of the Belgian Company Code, repay in cash a part of the share capital to the shareholders, more in particular to each share an amount equal to the Benefit (without distinction between ordinary "Shares", the "Golden Shares" and the "Liquidation Dispreference Shares", as defined in the articles of association of the company). The capital decrease will not result in the cancellation of existing shares of the company, each share of the company will participate to the same extent in the capital decrease and each share of the company will represent after the capital decrease the same fraction of the new share capital of the company.
From a tax perspective, the decrease will only be charged to the capital effectively paid up.
The board of directors is authorised to determine the procedure and formalities, the exdividend date and the payment date of the repayment of the capital decrease in accordance with applicable legislation and regulations. The procedure and formalities, the ex-dividend date and the payment date of the repayment of the capital decrease will be communicated by the company in accordance with applicable legislation and regulations.
The right to payment of the capital decrease will be represented by coupon number four (4), with corresponding arrangements for dematerialised shares.
