Pursuant to Article 7:143, §4 of the Companies and Associations Code, in the event of any potential conflict of interests between a shareholder and his appointed representative, the representative is not authorised to exercise the voting right on behalf of the shareholder unless he has specific voting instructions for each item on the agenda. Without that, proxies will not be valid.

Conflicts of interest exist in particular if the representative:

1° is the Bank, is a shareholder who controls the Bank or is another entity controlled by such a shareholder;

2° is a member of the Bank's Board of Directors, or a member of the management bodies of a shareholder who controls the Bank or a controlled entity referred to in 1°;

3° is an employee or external auditor of the Bank or of the Bank's controlling shareholder or of a controlled entity referred to in 1°;

4° is related to a natural person referred to in 1° to 3° or is the spouse or legal partner of such a person, or of a relation of such a person.

Proxies returned to the Bank without indicating a representative will be deemed to be addressed to the chairman of the Board of Directors and consequently fall within the scope of potential conflicts of interest. They will not be valid unless voting instructions are indicated for each item on the agenda.
