  1. Proposal, subject to prior approval of the FSMA, to replace Article 3 of the Articles of Association with the following text:

"ARTICLE 3 - PURPOSE

The company's sole purpose is:

(a) to make immovable property available to users, directly or through a company in which it holds a participation in accordance with the provisions of the RREC legislation; and

(b) within the limits set out in the RREC legislation, to possess real estate as specified in article 2,5°, vi to xi of the Act.

The notion real estate is to be understood as "real estate" within the meaning of the RREC legislation.

(c) to conclude with a public client or to accede to, in the long term directly or through a company in which it holds a participation in accordance with the provisions of the RREC legislation, where applicable in cooperation with third parties, one or more:

(i) DBF-agreements, the so-called "Design, Build, Finance" agreements;

(ii) DB(F)M-agreements, the so-called "Design, Build, (Finance) and Maintain" agreements; (iii) DBF(M)O-agreements, the so-called "Design, Build, Finance, (Maintain) and Operate" agreements;

and/or

(iv) public works concession agreements with respect to buildings and/or other infrastructure of an immovable nature and related services, and on the basis of which:

(i) it is responsible for ensuring the availability, maintenance and/or exploitation for a public entity and/or the citizen as end user, in order to fulfill a social need and/or to enable the provision of a public service; and

(ii) it may bear, in whole or in part, the related financing, availability, demand and/or operational risk, in addition to any potential building risk, without therefore necessarily having any rights in rem; and

(d) to develop, cause to develop, establish, cause to establish, manage, allow to manage, operate, allow to operate or make available, in the long term directly or through a company in which it holds a participation in accordance with the provisions of the RREC legislation, where applicable in cooperation with third parties:

(i) public utilities and warehouses for transport, distribution or storage of electricity, gas, fossil or non-fossil fuel and energy in general and associated goods;

(ii) utilities for transport, distribution, storage or purification of water and associated goods;

(iii) installations for the generation, storage and transport of renewable or non-renewable energy and associated goods; or

(iv) waste and incineration plants and associated goods.

In the context of making available immovable property, the company can carry out all activities relating to the construction, conversion, renovation, development, acquisition, disposal, administration and exploitation of immovable property.

As an additional or temporary activity, the company may invest in securities that are not real estate within the meaning of the RREC legislation, insofar as these securities may be traded on a regulated market. These investments will be made in accordance with the risk management policy adopted by the company and will be diversified so as to ensure an appropriate risk diversification. It may also hold non-allocated liquid assets in all currencies, in the form of a call or term deposit or in the form of any monetary instrument that can be traded easily.

The company may moreover carry out hedging transactions, insofar as the latter's exclusive purpose is to cover interest rate and exchange rate risks within the context of the financing and administration of the activities of the company as referred to in article 4 of the Act, to the exclusion of any speculative transactions.

The company may lease out or take a lease on (under finance leases) one or more immovable properties. Leasing out (under finance leases) immovable property with an option to purchase may only be carried out as an additional activity, unless the immovable properties are intended for purposes of public interest, including social housing and education (in this case, the activity may be carried out as main activity).

The company may carry out all transactions and studies relating to all real estate as described above, and may perform all acts relating to real estate, such as purchase, refurbishment, laying out, letting, furnished letting, subletting, management, exchange, sale, parceling, placing under a system of co-ownership, and have dealings with all enterprises with a corporate purpose that is similar to or complements its own by way of merger or otherwise, insofar as these acts are permitted under the RREC legislation and, generally, perform all acts that are directly or indirectly related to its purpose."
