A Warrant automatically expires and becomes invalid (caduque) by operation of law on 06:00 p.m. (Belgian time) (18:00 hours) on the Expiration Date, unless it is exercised prior to such time by the Holder thereof in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in these Conditions.
4. SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THE WARRANTS
The Shares to be issued upon each exercise of the Warrants shall have the same rights and benefits as, and rank pari passu in all respects including as to entitlement to dividends and other distributions, with the existing and outstanding Shares at the moment of their issue and will be entitled to dividends and other distributions in respect of which the relevant record date or due date falls on or after the date of their issue.
5. EXERCISE OF THE WARRANTS
- 5.1. Right to exercise: Each Warrant can be exercised at any time as from the latest of (a) the Issue Date or (b) the Listing Prospectus Approval, until the expiry of the Term. The exercise of a Warrant following the Expiration Date shall be considered void.
- 5.2. Limitations on exercises. Without prejudice to Clause 7, to the extent any Warrant is not exercised earlier, such Warrant will lapse and terminate immediately on the earlier of (a) 06:00 p.m. (Belgian time) (18:00 hours) on the Expiration Date, and (b) provided a transfer of the Warrants has not been completed in accordance with Clause 7, the Consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, in each case without further notice, and the rights to exercise the Warrants shall be of no further force or effect whatsoever thereafter.
- 5.3. Exercise Notice: The Warrants can only be exercised by means of a duly completed and signed written notice (which may be signed electronically) substantially in the form of Schedule 3 (the "Exercise Notice"). The Exercise Notice must be served on, and received by, the Company in accordance with the provisions of section 10.4. An Exercise Notice shall be deemed to be received by the Company (the "Exercise Date") (i) on the day it is served or deemed to be served pursuant to section 10.4, if that day is a Trading Day and the Exercise Notice was served or deemed to be served pursuant to section 10.4 before 11:00 a.m. (Belgian time) (11:00 hours), or (ii) on the Trading Day immediately following the day it is served or deemed to be served pursuant to section 10.4, if the Exercise Notice was served or deemed to be served pursuant to section 10.4 on a Trading Day at or after 11:00 a.m. (Belgian time) (11:00 hours). The Exercise Date must fall within the Term.
- 5.4.

The Company shall, as promptly as practicable and in any event no later than one (1) Business Day after the Exercise Date of a Warrant, notify the Holder of the Warrant of the details of the relevant Exercise Account via email to the address mentioned in the Exercise Account. If the applicable Exercise Price of a Warrant is not paid in accordance with the foregoing provisions and received by the Company on the Exercise Account prior to 11:00 a.m. (Belgian time) (11:00 hours) on the second (2nd) Trading Day following the Exercise Date, the Warrant shall be deemed not to have been exercised.
- 5.5. No exercise for fractions of Shares: The Warrants can only be exercised for a whole number of Shares, and not with respect to fractions of Shares or scrips. If as a result of an adjustment pursuant to section 6 of the Conditions a Warrant were to give the right to subscribe for a fraction of a Share or scrip, the Warrants can be exercised in an aggregated manner by the Holder thereof in such a manner that the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants concerned (including the relevant fractions of a Share or scrips) shall be aggregated, but rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares.
- 5.6. Issue and delivery of the Shares: The Company shall only be obliged to issue Shares upon an exercise of a Warrant provided that (a) the exercise complies with sections 5.1 and 5.2, (b) the relevant Exercise Notice has been served upon the Company in accordance with section 5.3, and (c) the applicable aggregate Exercise Price has been paid in accordance with the provisions of section 5.4. Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall issue and deliver the relevant Shares as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 06:00 p.m. (Belgian time) (18:00 hours) on the second (2nd) Trading Day after the Exercise Date (the "Delivery Date") in accordance with the provisions of section 5.7. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Shares underlying the Warrants, subject to a due and valid exercise in accordance with the Conditions, and subject to receipt of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrants so exercised
on the Exercise Account in accordance with the Conditions, by the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) after the delivery to the Company of the Exercise Notice (such date, the "Warrant Share Delivery Date"), the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each EUR 1,000 of Shares underlying the Warrants subject to such exercise (based on the Weighted Average Price of the Shares on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice), EUR 10 per Trading Day (increasing to EUR 20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Shares underlying the Warrants are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. As used herein, "Standard Settlement Period" means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days (but not less than two (2) Trading Days), on the Company's primary trading market with respect to the Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of the Exercise Notice.
- 5.7. Form of the Shares: The Shares to be delivered upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be delivered in dematerialised form in accordance with the delivery instructions set out in the Exercise Notice or, in the absence of such instructions, in registered form. In case of delivery in dematerialised form, it shall be sufficient that the relevant Demat006 Form shall have been duly and validly completed and submitted by the Company with Euroclear, in accordance with delivery instructions set out in the Exercise Notice, by 06:00 p.m. (Belgian time) (18:00 hours) on the Delivery Date, for delivery of the relevant Shares. Due and valid completion and submission of the Demat006 Form in accordance with delivery instructions so given shall qualify as settlement of the delivery of the relevant Shares. The Company shall not be responsible for the subsequent actions of Euroclear or other custodians required to credit the relevant Shares on the securities account(s) of the Holder, and the provisions of sections 5.8 shall not apply in the event of a due and valid completion and submission of the Demat006 Form as aforementioned in accordance with delivery instructions given to the Company as aforementioned. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to assist the Holder in enabling Euroclear or other custodians to credit the relevant Shares on the securities account of the Holder.
- 5.8. Compensation for Buy-In: In addition to any other rights available to the Holder of Warrants, if the Company fails deliver the Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant by the Holder thereof in accordance with the provisions of sections 5.6 and 5.7, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (A) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Shares so purchased exceeds (B) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, with (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. For example, if the Holder purchases Shares having a total purchase price of EUR 11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to the Shares to be delivered upon exercise of Warrants with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of EUR 10,000, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder EUR 1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the Conditions.
- 5.9. Capital increase: In accordance with applicable law, upon the exercise of Warrants, the capital increase and issue of new Shares resulting therefrom shall be formally recorded before a notary public by one or more authorised representatives of the Company.
- 5.10. Allocation of the Exercise Price: Upon the exercise of Warrants and the issue of the relevant new Shares pursuant to these Conditions, the applicable aggregate Exercise Price shall be allocated to the share capital of the Company. If the amount of the applicable Exercise Price per Share issued is greater than the fractional value of the existing Shares immediately prior to the capital increase, then the applicable aggregate Exercise Price shall be allocated in such a manner that per Share issued (i) a part of the applicable aggregate Exercise Price equal to the fractional value of the existing Shares immediately prior to the capital increase shall be booked as share capital, and (ii) the balance of the applicable aggregate Exercise Price shall be booked as issue premium. Such issue premium shall be accounted for on the liabilities side of the Company's balance sheet as net equity. The account on which the issue premium shall be booked shall, like the share capital, serve as the guarantee for third parties and, save for the possibility of a capitalisation of those reserves, can only be reduced on the basis of a valid resolution of the general shareholders' meeting passed in the manner required for an amendment to the Company's articles of association. Following the issue of new Shares and the capital increase resulting therefrom, each of the Shares (existing and new) shall represent the same fraction of the Company's share capital.
- 5.11. Further information: Upon receipt of the Exercise Notice in relation to a Warrant, the Company may request the Holder of the relevant Warrant in writing to provide to the Company with such further declarations and documents, which are reasonably necessary to allow the Company to comply with all applicable legal and regulatory provisions in connection with the exercise of the Warrant and the issue or delivery of the Shares resulting therefrom.
- 5.12. Listing of the Shares: The Company will procure, at its sole expense, that, upon exercise of the Warrant, the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant be admitted to trading and listing on any principal stock exchange or other trading platform on which the Company's other Shares are then admitted to trading and listing.
The Company will use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may be issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirement of any securities exchange on which the Company's other Shares are then listed or traded.
Furthermore, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing of its Shares on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels as long as the Warrants remain outstanding. If at any time the Company, after exercise of its reasonable best efforts, is unable to comply with the requirements for maintaining such listing on regulated market of Euronext Brussels as aforementioned, or if maintenance of such listing becomes unduly onerous, the Company shall use, as long as the Warrants remain outstanding, its reasonable best efforts to obtain and maintain a listing of such Shares on such other stock exchange as the Company (acting reasonably) may select. Such stock exchange shall be an EEA Regulated Market or a UK Regulated Market (a "Regulated Market") unless the Company (acting reasonably) determines that maintenance of a listing on a Regulated Market would be unduly onerous, in which case the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and thereafter to maintain a listing of the Shares on such other stock exchange as the Company (acting reasonably) may select, provided however that such stock exchange is commonly used for the listing and trading of equity or debt securities.
6. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND THE EXERCISE PRICE
6.1. Splits and reverse splits: If the Company subdivides its Shares into a greater number of Shares, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants pursuant to the Conditions shall be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately reduced. If the Shares are reduced, combined or consolidated into a lesser number of Shares, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants pursuant to the Conditions shall be proportionately reduced.
- 6.2. Reclassification, exchange, combinations or substitution, etc.: Upon any event (other than a Fundamental Transaction) whereby all of the Shares are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or kind, then from and after the consummation of such event, each outstanding Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and kind of Company securities that the Holder would have received had the Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrant been issued and outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of these Conditions. Following such an event, the terms of these Conditions shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to such other Company securities. The provisions of this section 6.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations, substitutions, replacements or other similar events.
- 6.3. No other adjustments: Notwithstanding article 7:71 of the Belgian Companies and Associations Code, the Company may proceed with all actions that it deems appropriate in relation to its capital, its articles of association, its financial condition or its management, even if such actions would lead to a reduction of the benefits allocated to a Holder of Warrants, including but not limited to mergers, acquisitions, capital increases or reductions (including those subject to a condition precedent), incorporation of reserves in the capital with issuance of new shares, the distribution of dividends, the issuance of subscription rights, convertible bonds or other securities entitling the holder to subscribe for or acquire shares or other securities of the Company, the amendment of arrangements or provisions relating to the distribution of profits or liquidation proceeds (except if an amendment to the arrangements or provisions relating to the distribution of profits or liquidation proceeds would result in all of the then outstanding and existing Shares having preferred rights relating to the distribution of profits or liquidation proceeds as compared to the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants). Should the rights of a Holder with respect to the Warrants of the Holder be affected by such decision or transaction, then the Holder shall not be entitled to a change of the Exercise Price, a change of the exercise conditions or any other form of (financial or other) compensation, unless specifically provided for in sections 6.1 and 6.2 of these Conditions.
- 6.4. Notice as to adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants pursuant to the Conditions, substitution of such Shares, or adjustment of the Exercise Price in accordance with this section 6, the Company shall notify the Holder of the Warrants in writing in accordance with the provisions of section 10.4 within a reasonable time setting forth the relevant adjustment and facts upon which such adjustment is based.
7. TREATMENT OF THE WARRANTS IN CASE OF A FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION
