votes by letter in the following way in respect of the special shareholders meeting dated 29 March 2024 (and any other meeting with the same agenda).
Submission of the special report of the Board in accordance with Article 7:228 of the Belgian Code on Companies and Associations in relation to the proposal to continue the operations of the Company, as set out below in item 2 of the agenda.
No vote is required in connection with this agenda item.
In accordance with Article 7:228 of the Belgian Code on Companies and Associations the shareholders meeting is to deliberate and resolve, as the case may be, on the dissolution of the Company and possibly on other measures announced in the agenda.
From the start of its operations, the Company is aware that research and development costs will increase for a number of years before any prospect of commercial revenues is possible.
The Board of Directors reviewed and approved the necessary budgets and cash planning prepared by the Executive Committee for the operation of the Company in 2024 and 2025, taking into account available financial resources.
The Board of Directors believes that the restructuring measures that have already been adopted in 2023 combined with potentially obtaining additional financing through equity, grants, partnerships and/or other sources of financing should enable the Company to continue its operations.
1 Only applicable to holders of subscription rights issued under the long term incentive plans of the Company for its and its subsidiary's personnel. The Company has not issued any other subscription rights. Holders of subscription rights only have an advisory vote.
The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the possibility of obtaining additional financing can be substantiated by the progress that the Company has made during 2023:
The Board of Directors therefore proposes to continue the Company's operations. For more information on the measures the Board of Directors proposes to take to address the financial situation of the Company, and its proposal to continue the operations of the Company, reference is also made to the special report of the Board of Directors referred to in item 1 of the agenda of the Shareholders Meeting.
Proposed resolution: The shareholders meeting resolves to approve the proposal set out in the special report of the Board of Directors, prepared in accordance with Article 7:228 of the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations, to continue the operations of the Company.
