……………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
in order to represent him/her at the annual ordinary shareholders' meeting of the Company that will be held on Tuesday, 25 May 2021 at 10.00 am (CET) at the registered offices, 30 Avenue Marnix, 1000 Brussels, Belgium, and to vote as follows on each of the proposed resolutions on behalf of the Principal: (**)
(*) Cross out what is not applicable. (**) Please tick the appropriate boxes.
In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, it is strongly recommended that the proxy be given to the Chairman of the Meeting who will attend the Meeting physically in any case (or that the shareholders vote by mail). Depending on the evolution of the health situation and gathering restrictions applicable at the time of the Meeting, the Company indeed reserves the right to prohibit the physical presence of the shareholders and their proxyholders at the Meeting.
In case the Proxyholder is the Chairman of the Meeting, the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations assumes the existence of a potential conflict of interest between the Principal and the Proxyholder. This conflict could arise from the fact that the Proxyholder's interest is aligned with that of the Board of Directors that prepared the agenda of the Meeting. However, since the Proxyholder is required to vote only in accordance with the instructions given by the Principal below, the interests of the Principal are protected.
If the Principal does not tick any boxes with respect to any of the proposed resolutions, the Proxyholder will abstain from voting.
