Full chain of controlled companies through which the shareholding is effectively held:
Mr. De Palmenaer is controlling shareholder of Ideplus NV.
Additional information:
The voting rights 'separate from the shares' relate to the shares for which the usufruct is held by Frank De Palmenaer, while the bare ownership of each 1/3rd of 1,152,726 is held by Feliciaan De Palmenaer, Ludovic De Palmenaer and Alexander De Palmenaer.
Following the press release of 25 September 2025 concerning the 'disclosure about a transparency notification', it was found that Ideplus NV had sold shares in ABO-GROUP Environment NV on 29 May 2025 without notifying the company. This transaction was therefore not included in the overview of voting rights in the press release of 25 September 2025, which was therefore incorrect. The above section was amended to include the transaction of 29 May 2025.
