III. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1) Approval of proposals on the agendas
As regards the extraordinary shareholders' meeting, it is specified that, in order to be adopted, proposals to amend the articles of association under items A., B., C. and D. of the agenda require a quorum of at least half of the shareholders and a special majority of at least three quarters of the votes cast.
In the event that the required quorum is not reached at the extraordinary shareholders' meeting of 8 May 2024, a second extraordinary shareholders' meeting will be held on 5 June 2024 at 15:00 at the Company's registered office with the same agenda. At this second extraordinary shareholders' meeting, the above-mentioned proposals may be adopted by the same special majority and regardless of the number of shares present or represented.
As regards the ordinary shareholders' meeting, all proposals on the agenda may be adopted by a simple majority of the votes cast at the meeting, regardless of the number of shares represented.
2) Right to include subjects on the agendas and to submit proposals for decision
One or more shareholders who together hold at least 3% of the Cofinimmo share capital may request to add items and / or resolution proposals concerning items to the agendas of the General Meetings.
The items to be added to the agendas and/or the resolution proposals must be sent to the Company by 16 April 2024 at the latest by ordinary letter addressed to the Company's registered office (Boulevard de la Woluwe 58, 1200 Brussels) or by email ([email protected]).

In case shareholders, in accordance with article 7:130 of the Companies and Associations Code, exercise their right to add items to the agenda and to submit resolution proposals, proxy and correspondence voting forms notified prior to the publication of the amended agenda will remain valid for the agenda items they cover. In case items to be added to the agenda and/or resolution proposals are submitted after the proxy and correspondence voting forms notified to the Company, the proxy holder shall abstain from voting on the new or alternative resolution proposals. In this case, however, shareholders will have the possibility to submit new proxy and correspondence voting forms, using the revised forms mentioned in the previous paragraph.
