AGENDA EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

  1. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF DOCUMENTS AND REPORTS

Acknowledgement and discussion of:

1.1. The joint merger proposition of 28 April 2026 concerning the merger by acquisition of Cofinimmo NV/SA, a public limited company with the status of a public regulated real estate company under


Belgian law, with its registered office at Tervurenlaan 270, 1150 Brussels and registered in the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises under number 0426.184.049 (RLE Brussels) ("Cofinimmo"), by the Company (the "Merger"), prepared by the management bodies of the companies concerned in accordance with Articles 12:2 juncto 12:24 of the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations (the "BCCA"), and filed with the registry of the Brussels Commercial Court:

a. as for Cofinimmo, on 30 April 2026 and published in the annexes of the Belgian Official Gazette of 11 May 2026; and
b. as for Aedifica, on 30 April 2026 and published in the annexes of the Belgian Official Gazette of 11 May 2026;

1.2. The report prepared by the Board of Directors of Aedifica in accordance with Article 12:25 BCCA (the "Board of Directors' Report").
1.3. The report prepared by Aedifica's Statutory Auditor in accordance with Article 12:26 BCCA ("Auditor's Report").

As this is for information purposes only, no proposed resolution has been included.

2. NOTICE OF A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE COMPANY'S ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Notice of any significant changes that have occurred in the assets and liabilities of the Company's capital between the date of the Merger Proposal and the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting, in accordance with Article 12:27 BCCA.

As this is for information purposes only, no proposed resolution has been included.

3. MERGER DECISION

Proposed decision:

The general meeting decides to approve the Merger Proposal and, consequently, to give its consent to the Merger, whereby, in particular, as further set out and detailed in the Merger Proposal:

  • Acknowledgment is taken of the description of the assets transferred, as set out in the Merger Proposal
  • the Exchange Ratio is determined on one (1) old share of Cofinimmo in exchange for 1.1784 new shares of Aedifica (the "Merger Exchange Ratio" and "New Shares");
  • the Issue Price per New Share is determined on EUR 73.05 (rounded to two decimal places for readability) (the "Merger Issue Price");
  • taking into account the aforementioned Merger Exchange Ratio and the Merger Issue Price, the contribution Value of one Cofinimmo share is thus determined at EUR 86.08 (rounded to two decimal places for readability) (the "Merger Contribution Value");
  • the fractions of New Shares that, based on the Merger Exchange Ratio, in the context of the Merger are due to certain Cofinimmo Shareholders (i.e., Cofinimmo Shareholders who, in exchange for their Cofinimmo Shares, are entitled to a number of New Shares that does not consist solely of a natural number and therefore partly consists of a fraction of a New Share ("Fractions of New Shares"), will not be delivered as such to the Cofinimmo Shareholder concerned but will instead, to the extent possible, be bundled into whole New Shares and thereafter, in the name and on behalf of each such Cofinimmo Shareholder in accordance with the terms and procedures set out in the Merger Proposal, be sold via a BNP Dribbling Out or an FI Dribbling Out (as both defined in the Merger Proposal) and the BNP Proceeds or FI Proceeds (as both defined in the Merger Proposal) to be delivered to the relevant Cofinimmo Shareholders per Fraction of New Share;

2


pursuant to which Aedifica acquires the entire assets of Cofinimmo, without exception or reservations under general title, by way of a merger by acquisition, as follows:

  • taking legal effect on 1 July 2026 at 00:00 Belgian time (i.e. the start of the day), as set out in the Merger Proposal (the "Effective Date") and subject to the condition precedent that the Merger takes effect. If the general meeting were to be convened (again) on a different date, were to meet and resolve to proceed with the Merger, the Board of Directors will propose the Effective Date in the relevant notice convening that EGM; and
  • The Merger shall take effect, irrespective of the final date on which the EGM resolves to approve the Merger and the final Effective Date, for accounting and tax purposes, on 1 July 2026 at 00:00 Belgian time. If this date differs from the Effective Date, transactions carried out by Cofinimmo in the period prior to the Effective Date will consequently be regarded as having been carried out, for accounting and tax purposes, in the name and on behalf of Aedifica.

4. CAPITAL INCREASE

Proposed decision:

1.1. The EGM therefore determines that:

a. as compensation for the assets of Cofinimmo transferred to Aedifica through the Merger, in total 9,162,060 New Shares are to be issued, the number of which is calculated by taking all currently relevant Cofinimmo Shares (as defined in the Merger Proposal), namely 7,775,000, to be multiplied by the Merger Exchange Ratio (as set out in agenda item 3).
b. taking into account the number of New Shares to be issued pursuant to the Merger and the Merger issue price (as set out in agenda item 3), the total Issue Price pursuant to the Merger amounts to, rounded down to the nearest euro cent, six hundred and sixty-nine million, two hundred and eighty-one thousand, four hundred and seventeen euros and fifty-four euro cents (€ 669,281,417.54); and
c. as a result of the Merger, the 9,162,060 New Shares have been paid up in full.

1.2. The EGM therefore decides:

a. to increase the Company's capital by EUR 241.766.458,49 (the "Capital Increase"), being the 9.162.060 New Shares multiplied by the (exact) fractional value of the existing shares (i.e., for reasons of readability, rounded to EUR 26.39 per share), with the result of this calculation then being rounded up to the nearest euro cent, to bring it from two billion two hundred and two million six hundred and two thousand six hundred and sixty-nine euros and nine cents (EUR 2,202,602,669.09) to two billion four hundred and forty-four million three hundred and sixty-nine thousand one hundred and twenty-seven euros and fifty-eight euro cents (EUR 2,444,369,127.58), through the issue of 9,162,060 New Shares
b. that the difference between the total Issue Price of six hundred and sixty-nine million, two hundred and eighty-one thousand, four hundred and seventeen euros and fifty-four euro cents (EUR 669,281,417.54) and the amount of the Capital Increase, being two hundred and forty-one million seven hundred and sixty-six thousand four hundred and fifty-eight euros and forty-nine cents (EUR 241,766,458.49), being four hundred and twenty-seven million five hundred and fourteen thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine euros and five euro cents (EUR 427,514,959.05), will be recorded as an available issue premium in one or more separate accounts "Available Issue Premiums", under equity on the liabilities side of the Company's balance sheet;
c. that the capital value of all (new and existing) shares of the Company upon the issue of the New Shares will be equalized; and
d. that the New Shares:

i. will have the same rights benefits and ISIN code (BE0003851681) as the existing Aedifica shares;
ii. will participate in the Company's results from January 1, 2026;


iii. will be issued with coupon no. 37 and following attached on the Effective Date; and
iv. under the responsibility of Aedifica’s Board of Directors, will be allocated to the relevant Cofinimmo Shareholders on the Effective Date (as defined in the Merger Proposal) in accordance with the Merger Exchange Ratio and subject to the Dribbling Out relating to Fractions of New Shares, as set out in agenda item 3 and explained in the Merger Proposal.

5. AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

Proposed decision:

The EGM decides to amend the Company’s Articles of Association as follows as from the date on which the Merger takes effect, at the earliest from the Effective Date, in both the Dutch and French versions:

In the French version:

“Le capital est fixé à deux milliards quatre cent quarante-quatre millions trois cent soixante-neuf mille cent vingt-sept euros et cinquante-huit centimes d’euro (€ 2.444.369.127,58) représenté par quatre-vingt-douze millions six cent trente-deux mille six cent quatre (92.632.604) actions sans désignation de valeur nominale représentant chacune un/quatre-vingt-douze millions six cent trente-deux mille six cent quatrième (92.632.604ième) du capital.”

IV. PARTICIPATION

1. Proxy

Each shareholder who has complied with the procedure described above in point III., regarding registration and notification of participation may be represented at the Extraordinary General Meetings by a proxy holder. Except in the cases provided for in article 7.143 §1, second paragraph of the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations, a shareholder may appoint only one person as proxy. When appointing a proxy holder, a shareholder should use the proxy form that is made available on the website of the Company (https://aedifica.eu/exchange-offer/). (A copy of) the signed proxy form has to be received by the Company on 6 June 2026 at the latest, by ordinary letter (to Belliardstraat / Rue Belliard 40 box 11, 1040 Brussels) or by e-mail (to [email protected]).

The electronic proxy has to be received by ABN AMRO Bank N.V./S.A. on 6 June 2026 at the latest.

Each appointment of a proxy holder has to be carried out in accordance with the applicable Belgian legislation, in particular on conflicts of interest and the keeping of a register.

2. Physical presence

Provided that shareholders or proxy holders prove their identity, and representatives of legal persons submit the documents proving their identity and their power of representation, at the latest immediately before the start of the Extraordinary General Meeting, they may participate in person in the Extraordinary General Meeting at the place where the Extraordinary General Meeting takes place. Failing this, participation in the Extraordinary General Meeting may be refused.

V. (WRITTEN) QUESTIONS

The shareholders can address written questions (i) to the Directors with respect to the reports of the Board of Directors and the items on the agenda of these General Meetings, and (ii) to the Statutory Auditor with respect to the reports of the Statutory Auditor. These questions have to be received by the Company at the latest on 6 June 2026, by ordinary letter (to the registered office Belliardstraat / rue Belliard 40 box 11, 1040 Brussels) or by e-mail (to: [email protected]). More detailed information on this right, and more generally, the shareholders' right to ask questions (during the Extraordinary General Meeting), can be found on the website of the Company, at https://aedifica.eu/exchange-offer.


VI. AVAILABILITY OF DOCUMENTS

All documents with respect to the Extraordinary General Meeting that are required by law to be made available to the shareholders, are:

  • The Merger Proposal;
  • The Report of the Board of Directors;
  • The Statutory Auditor’s Report;
  • The financial statements for the last three financial years of each of the companies involved in the merger;
  • The reports of the Board of Directors and the Statutory Auditor’s reports for the last three fiscal years;

can be obtained by the shareholders as of today at the office of the Company (Belliardstraat / Rue Belliard 40 box 11, 1040 Brussels) on business days, during normal business hours. This information is also available on https://aedifica.eu/exchange-offer/ and on the ABN AMRO platform (www.abnamro.com/evoting).

Given that the reports pursuant to article 12:25 BCCA as well as the reports pursuant to article 12:26 BCCA were prepared, articles 7:179 and 7:197 BCCA are not applicable, meaning that no separate reports needed to be prepared under these provisions. Similarly, no interim figures need to be prepared, as the Merger Proposal was drawn up no more than six months after the end of the financial year to which the latest financial statements relate for each of the companies.

VII. DATA PROTECTION

The Company is responsible for processing personal data received from security holders and proxy holders within the framework of the EGM in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation. The processing of such personal data shall be carried out on the basis of the necessity for the performance of the company agreement or a legal obligation imposed on the Company, whichever basis applies. The processing shall take place for the purpose of analysing and managing the attendance and voting procedure relating to the EGM and this in accordance with the applicable legislation and the Privacy Policy of the Company. These personal data will be transferred to ABN AMRO Bank N.V./S.A. and its partners for the purpose of providing assistance in the organisation of the EGM, the management of the attendance and voting procedure, and for the analysis of the composition of the participants in the General Meetings. The personal data will not be kept longer than necessary in view of the aforementioned purpose and will consequently be deleted in accordance with the Company's Privacy Policy.

Security holders and proxy holders can find the Company's Privacy Policy on the Company's website. This Privacy Policy contains detailed information regarding the processing of personal data of, amongst others, security holders and proxy holders. Security holders and proxy holders have the right to access, correct or remove their personal data, to restrict processing, to object to processing and the right to data portability, to the extent they have these rights under the applicable law, as well as the right to file a complaint with the competent data protection authority.
