1 Article 547bis § 1 of the Companies Code stipulates that a shareholder of Kinepolis Group NV may appoint only one person as proxy holder for a particular General Meeting, except in the following cases:

- A shareholder can appoint a separate proxy holder for each form of shares (i.e. registered, book-entry or bearer) he/she possesses, and for each securities account if he/she has Kinepolis Group NV shares on more than one securities account.

- A person who is qualified as shareholder but who acts professionally for the account of other natural persons or legal entities can appoint as proxy holder each of these natural persons or legal entities or a third party designated by them.

The shareholder is requested to complete and sign a separate proxy form for each proxy holder he/she wishes to appoint.

If the shareholder does not fill in the name of the proxy holder (a blank power of attorney), then the proxy might be taken on by a member of the board of directors or an employee of Kinepolis Group. Since the latter persons have a potential conflict of interest with the shareholder, in the meaning of Article 547bis § 4 of the Companies Code, they will only be authorized to vote on the condition that specific voting instructions have been given on each point of the agenda.,. More specific information on the potential conflicts of interest between shareholders and proxy holders can be found in the Corporate Governance Charter of Kinepolis Group available on http://investors.kinepolis.com/.
