Second resolution
The general meeting resolves to cancel the existing authorization as granted to the supervisory board on 26 April 2018. It resolves to grant a new authorization to the supervisory board to increase the capital of the Company in one or more times by a maximum amount of EUR 55,000,000 for a duration of five years. Accordingly, the shareholders' meeting resolves to replace the provisions of Article 6 of the articles of association ("Authorized Capital") by the following text:
"In accordance with the terms of a resolution adopted at the extraordinary general meeting held on [28 April 2022], the supervisory board is authorized, for a period of five years starting on the date the aforementioned decision is published in the Annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette, to increase the share capital by a maximum amount of EUR 55,000,000 (fifty-five million euros) according to the terms and conditions it shall define.

The supervisory board may carry out this increase in one or more times, either by contributions in cash or, subject to legal restrictions, contributions in kind, as well as by incorporation of reserves, whether available or unavailable for distribution, or of issuance premiums, with or without issuing new stock, above, below or at existing par value, in accordance with the mandatory provisions of the Code of companies and associations. These increases may give rise to the issuance of shares (with or without voting rights), convertible bonds and/or subscription rights and/or other securities, whether or not attached to other stock of the company, or attached to stock issued by another company. The supervisory board may freely determine whether the new shares shall be issued in registered or dematerialised form.
On this occasion, the supervisory board may, in the best interests of the company and in accordance with legal provisions, limit or disapply the preferential subscription rights of shareholders. The supervisory board may also limit or disapply the preferential subscription rights of shareholders in favour of one or more designated persons who, as the case may be, are not employed by the company or its subsidiaries. In the latter case, the member(s) of the supervisory board who de facto represent(s) the beneficiary of the exclusion of the preferential subscription rights or a person related to the beneficiary within the meaning of article 7:200, 2° of the Code of companies and associations, shall not participate in the vote.
If the capital increase includes an issuance premium, the amount of this premium shall be allocated to an unavailable "issuance premium" reserve, from which it may not be withdrawn in whole or part except to be incorporated into the capital by a decision of the supervisory board using, should the case arise, the authorization conferred upon it by this Article, or to be reduced or cancelled by a decision of the general meeting of shareholders in accordance with the conditions required for an amendment of the articles of association."
