Proposed resolution: The general meeting takes note of the proposition to replace the existing authorization to acquire, pledge and dispose of own shares with a new authorization having the same content for a new period of five years, and consequently amend article 6.4 of the articles of association accordingly as follows:
"6.4. Acquiring, pledging and disposing of own shares.
The Company may acquire, pledge or dispose of its own shares under the conditions stipulated by law. The governing body is specifically authorized for a period of five (5) years from the publication in the Annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette of the decision of the extraordinary general meeting of May 20, 2025, to acquire or pledge (even outside the stock exchange) on behalf of the Company, the Company's own shares with a maximum of ten percent (10%) of the total number of issued shares at a unit price that cannot be lower than seventy-five percent (75%) of the average closing price of the Montea share on the regulated market Euronext Brussels during the last twenty (20) trading days prior to the date of the transaction (acquisition and pledge) and cannot be higher than one hundred twenty-five (125%) of the average closing price of the Montea share on the regulated market Euronext Brussels during the last twenty (20) trading days prior to the date of the transaction (acquisition and pledge).
The governing body is also expressly authorized to dispose of the Company's own shares to, inter alia, one or more specified persons other than members of the personnel of the Company or its subsidiaries, subject to compliance with the Code of Companies and Associations.
The authorizations referred to above do not affect the possibilities, in accordance with the applicable legal provisions, for the board of directors to acquire, pledge or dispose of shares in the Company if no authorization by the articles of association or from the general meeting of shareholders is (no longer) required.
The authorizations referred to above extend to the acquisitions and disposals of shares of the Company by one or more direct subsidiaries of the Company, within the meaning of the legal provisions governing the acquisition of shares issued by a parent company by its subsidiaries.
The governing body is also explicitly authorized to dispose of the company's own shares to the personnel of the company or its subsidiaries, even if the company's own shares would be disposed of more than twelve months after their acquisition."
Additional explanation for the benefit of the shareholders: This proposed authorization will, if approved, be granted for a period of five years starting from the date of publication in the appendices to the Belgian Official Gazette of the resolution approving the proposed authorization. From that date, the existing authorization granted by the extraordinary general meeting of 9 November 2020 will automatically expire and the proposed authorization will take its place.
The newly proposed authorization has the same scope as the existing authorization included in article 6.4 of the Company's articles of association. The renewal is requested because the existing authorization included in article 6.4 expires on 17 November 2025.
The FSMA approved the proposed amendment to the articles of association on 8 April 2025.
Proposed resolution: Subject to approval of the amendment of the articles of association mentioned under agenda item B.1, the general meeting decides to grant the following special proxies:

The resolution proposed in relation to the Extraordinary General Meeting agenda items B.1. can only be validly adopted if the shareholders present or represented during the meeting represent at least 50% of the capital, and upon approval by at least 75% of the votes cast, whereby abstentions are not counted in the numerator or the denominator.
