POWERS OF THE PROXY HOLDER
- I. The proxy holder may in particular take part in any deliberations and vote and pass and sign all deeds, documents, minutes, attendance lists, substitute and generally do whatever is necessary. The proxyholder may attend any other meeting with the same agenda, if the first meeting cannot be held for any reason whatsoever.
- II. The proxy holder shall vote in accordance with the voting instructions contained in the proxy. Please indicate a specific voting instruction for each item on the agenda. If the absence of specific voting instructions, or if the voting instructions are not clear, the proxyholder will vote FOR the proposal.
- III. Proxy voting forms returned to COFINIMMO that do not indicate a proxy holder shall be considered to be addressed to the board of directors, therefore generating a potential conflict of interest under article 7:143, §4 of the Company and Associations Code1 . In order to be valid, proxy voting forms must contain specific voting instructions for each item on the agenda. If no specific voting instructions are included for an item included in the agenda, the proxy holder will be considered as having a conflict of interest and will not be allowed to partake in the vote.
- IV. If, pursuant to article 7:130 of the Companies and Associations Code, new items are added to the agenda of the General Meetings or proposals for decisions are added after the date of this proxy:
- The proxy voting form will remain valid for the agenda items it covers;
- The proxy holder have to abstain from voting on the new agenda items and the relevant proposals for a decision.
In this case, Cofinimmo will make the amended agenda and an amended proxy form available on its website by 26 April 2022 at the latest, in order to allow shareholders who wish to do so to return a new proxy to Cofinimmo and to give specific voting instructions on the new items on the agenda or the new resolution proposals.
1 In the event of potential conflicts of interest between the proxy and the shareholder, the proxy must disclose the precise facts relevant to the shareholder, to allow the shareholder to assess the risk that the proxy could pursue an interest other than that of the shareholder. The proxy shall only be authorized to vote on behalf of the shareholder provided that he/she has specific voting instructions for each topic included in the agenda.
A conflict of interest exists, in particular, when the proxy: (i) is the company itself or an entity controlled by it, a shareholder which controls the company or another entity controlled by such a shareholder; (ii) is a member of the board of directors or the management bodies of company or a shareholder which controls it or a controlled entity as described in (i) above; (iii) is an employee or auditor of the company, or a shareholder which controls it or a controlled entity as described in (i) above; (iv) is related to an individual described in (i) to (iii) above or is the spouse or legal cohabitant of such a person or is related to such a person.
