PROXY ORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF 11 MAY 2021

(A copy of) this duly completed, dated and signed proxy form must be received by the Company on 5 May 2021 at the latest:

  • by ordinary letter (to Belliardstraat / rue Belliard 40 box 11, 1040 Brussels) or
  • by e-mail (to [email protected])

In addition, shareholders may also use an electronic proxy by using the ABN AMRO platform (www.abnamro.com/evoting) where the shareholder can issue a proxy with voting instructions to the Company. The electronic proxy has to be received by ABN AMRO Bank N.V./S.A. on 5 May 2021 at the latest.

Proxy forms received late or failing to comply with the required formalities will be rejected.

Address:

1 In case of signature on behalf of a legal entity, please specify name, first name and title of natural person(s) and provide supporting documentation confirming representation powers. In the absence thereof, the undersigned declares and certifies to Aedifica NV/SA to have the necessary power of attorney to sign this form on behalf of the shareholder.

Owner of __________________ registered shares (in full property / in usufruct / in bare property)2 and __________________ dematerialised shares (in full property / in usufruct / in bare property)3 of the limited liability company "AEDIFICA", a public regulated real estate company under Belgian law, with office at 1040 Brussels, Belliardstraat / rue Belliard 40 box 11, RLE Brussels 0877.248.501 (hereafter, "Aedifica" or the "Company"), appoints hereby the secretary of the Company as special proxy holder with right of substitution

to whom the Principal grants all powers to represent the latter at the Ordinary General Meeting of shareholders of "AEDIFICA", to be held at 1040 Brussels, Belliardstraat / rue Belliard 40 box 11, on 11 May 2021 at 15:00 CET and to vote on the Principal's behalf in accordance with the voting intentions indicated below.

As mentioned in the convocation notice, given the current Covid-19 situation it is not possible to issue a proxy to another person than the secretary of the Company.

The proxy holder is expressly permitted to:

  • attend the Ordinary General Meeting;
  • to constitute and compose the bureau of the General Meeting;
  • to participate in the deliberations and to vote on each proposal on the agenda;
  • to that end, to sign all items, minutes, attendance lists and other documents, to subdelegate powers and in general to take all useful or necessary steps.

Since you designate the secretary of the Company or any other person designated by the Company in case of an impediment to act as special proxy holder, there is a conflict of interest in the meaning of Article 7:143, §4 of the Belgian Code of companies and associations ("BCCA"). Consequently, the proxy holder shall only be allowed to vote on the condition that he has been provided with specific voting instructions for each agenda item. Please circle your specific voting instruction for each agenda item.

In case new items or proposals for resolution are put on the agenda pursuant to Article 7:130 BCCA (see convocation notice for more information), the Company will make available an updated proxy form on its website. In such case, the Company strongly recommends to use the updated proxy form. If a proxy was provided to the Company with respect to the initial agenda and no updated proxy form would be received (in time) by the Company for the amended agenda, the secretary of the Company, as proxy holder, shall carry out the voting instructions as stated on the initial proxy; if new items were added to the agenda to be discussed, the secretary of the Company shall, in the absence of instruction from the shareholder, abstain from voting on these new items.

This proxy is also valid for any other General Meeting that might be convened with the same agenda. However, this only applies in so far as the Principal has complied in due time with the required participation and voting formalities for subsequent meetings.

The proxy holder shall exercise the voting right of the Principal as follows (see agenda as published in the Belgian State Gazette, De Tijd and L'Echo and on the website https://aedifica.eu/investors/shareholder-information/). (Please circle your choice):
