Proposed resolution: Subsequent to the examination of the annual report and the report of the statutory auditor and to the discussion of the annual accounts and the consolidated annual accounts for the financial year ending on December 31st, 2016, the annual accounts for the financial year ending on December 31st, 2016 are approved.

(*) On a per share basis this represents a gross dividend for 2016 of EUR 2,00.

The Melexis shares will start trading ex coupon on April 26th, 2017 (opening of the market). The record date is April 27th, 2017 (closing of the market).
