Consideration, discussion and submission of the special report of the Board of Directors in accordance with Article 7:199 of the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations relating to the proposal to renew the powers granted to the Board of Directors under the authorized capital, as set out below in item 2 of the agenda of the extraordinary shareholders' meeting, and setting out the specific circumstances in which the Board of Directors will be able to use its powers under the authorized capital, and the purposes that it should pursue.

2. Renewal of the authorization to the Board of Directors to increase the share capital within the framework of the authorized capital by up to 75% of the share capital

Proposed resolution: The extraordinary shareholders' meeting resolves to renew the authorization to the Board of Directors to increase the share capital in one or several times, during a period of five (5) years as from the publication in the Annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette of this authorization, with an aggregate amount equal to up to 75% of the current amount of the share capital of the Company, and this in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the special report of the Board of Directors prepared in accordance with Article 7:199 of the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations, as referred to in agenda item 1 of this extraordinary shareholders' meeting. Consequently, the extraordinary shareholders' meeting resolves to delete Article 10 "Authorized capital" of the articles of association of the Company entirely and to replace it with the following text (whereby the date referred to in the sub-section between square brackets shall be the date of the general shareholders' meeting approving the renewed authorized capital):

"Article 10: Authorized capital

The board of directors may increase the share capital of the company in one or several times with a maximum amount of € 422,865.66, i.e. 75% of the share capital at the time of the convening of the shareholders' meeting granting this authorization.

The board of directors may increase the share capital by contributions in cash or in kind, by capitalization of reserves, whether available or unavailable for distribution, and capitalization of issue premium, with or without the issue of new shares. The board of directors may use this authorization for the issue of convertible bonds, share options or subscription rights, bonds with subscription rights or other securities. This authorization is valid for a period of five years as from the date of publication in the Annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette of an extract of the minutes of the extraordinary shareholders' meeting of the company held on [date].

In the event of a capital increase decided by the board of directors pursuant to the authorized capital, all booked issue premiums, if any, shall be booked in accordance with these articles of association.

The board of directors is authorized, when exercising its powers under the authorized capital, to restrict or cancel the statutory preferential subscription right of the shareholders (in accordance with Article 7:190 and following of the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations) in the interest of the company. This restriction or cancellation of the preferential subscription right can also be done in favor of members of the personnel of the company or of its subsidiaries or in favor of one or more persons, other than members of the personnel of the company or of its subsidiaries.

Every member of the board of directors, the company secretary and every person specifically authorized by the board of directors or by the managing director of the company, acting individually and with the right of substitution, is authorized to amend the articles of association, after each capital increase within the framework of the authorized capital, in order to bring them in conformity with the new situation of the share capital and shares."

3. Amendment and restatement of the articles of association of the Company to bring these in line with the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations

Proposed resolution: The extraordinary shareholders' meeting resolves to amend and restate the articles of association of the Company in accordance with the proposed draft of the articles of association that is attached to the explanatory note that has been prepared by the Board of Directors pursuant to Article 7:129, §3, 4° of the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations and which is available on the Company's website, with a view to:

According to the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations, an attendance quorum of at least 50% of the outstanding shares must be present or represented at the extraordinary shareholders' meeting for the deliberation and voting on the agenda items of the aforementioned extraordinary shareholders' meeting.
