Proxy
In order to complete and submit their proxy, shareholders now have the choice between using the "paper" format or the AGM+ platform. This proxy form should only be used when using a "paper" proxy.
For holders of registered shares, a copy of the signed form must be sent to the company by e-mail ([email protected]), at the latest by 6 May 2021.
For holders of dematerialised shares, a copy of the signed form must be sent to BANQUE DEGROOF PETERCAM by e-mail ([email protected]), at the latest by 6 May 2021.
Covid-19 warning
Given the exceptional situation linked to the coronavirus and the police measures taken by the authorities restricting gatherings, the proxy holder appointed by virtue of the proxies will be exclusively the Secretary General of Cofinimmo or a person appointed by Cofinimmo to represent it.
Using Lumi's AGM+ platform
As indicated in the convening notice, instead of using this proxy, shareholders may use the AGM+ platform to complete and submit their proxy electronically. In this case, in order to be valid, the proxy must be submitted directly on the AGM+ platform by 6 May 2021 at the latest, in the manner described in the convening notice, using the form available on the AGM+ platform.
