(the "Company")
The board of directors of the Company has the honor to convene the shareholders, the holders of registered warrants and registered convertible bonds of the Company to the extraordinary general meeting to be held before one of the notaries of Berquin Notaires on 23 August 2021 at 11:00 a.m., avenue Lloyd George 11, 1000 Brussels, with the agenda set forth below.
This second extraordinary general meeting will take a decision on the items on the agenda below since a quorum was not reached for these items at the first extraordinary general meeting held on 5 August 2021, as recorded in a notarial deed of the same day. The agenda items for which no quorum was required were approved at the special general meeting held on 5 August 2021 and have therefore not been repeated in the agenda set forth below.
It is envisaged that the measures imposed and/or recommended by the Belgian government to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, will still be in force on 23 August 2021, the date of the Company's extraordinary general meeting. These measures are in the interest of the health of the holders of securities, as well as of the Company's employees and other persons responsible for organizing the extraordinary general meeting. It is also not excluded that the Belgian government may again impose additional measures.
In view of the above, the Company recommends that shareholders, holders of registered subscription rights and holders of registered convertible bonds who wish to participate in the extraordinary shareholders' meeting make use of the right to vote by proxy and, therefore, not to be present in person at the meeting.
Access to the meeting will only be granted to shareholders, holders of registered subscription rights and registered convertible bonds, proxies and other persons insofar as this is permitted in view of the measures taken or to be taken by the authorities as applicable on the date of the meeting and always taking into account the recommendations of the authorities and safety and health considerations.
Depending on the evolution of the health situation and the applicable rules in the coming weeks, the Company may communicate further with respect to the participation and organization of the extraordinary general meeting on the Company's website (www.bonetherapeutics.com).
In addition, security holders who wish to exercise their right to ask questions regarding the items on the agenda of the extraordinary general meeting are recommended to do so in writing. The details of the above-mentioned means of participation in the extraordinary general meeting are set out in this notice of meeting and in the proxy voting form.
