15) Application of article 7:151 of the Code of Companies and Associations.
Proposed resolution: The general meeting of shareholders approves and confirms the following provisions, in accordance with article 7:151 of the Code of Companies and Associations:
A/ Article 8.11 of the Note Purchase Agreement entered into in the context of the Company's staggered issue of bonds through a US Private Placement for a total amount of EUR 380,000,000. Article 8.11 of the Note Purchase Agreement states that in the event of a change of control, each holder of notes is entitled to repayment of the notes held by it up to 100.00 per cent of their nominal principal amount, together with the unpaid interest thereon (without payment of the Make Whole Amount, as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement). Change of control means, the change of control of Montea by any person (or group of persons acting in concert) not already exercising control over the Company prior to the entering into of this agreement, it being understood that a change of the sole director of the Company shall not be deemed a change of control. Control is understood to mean, (a) the (in-)direct holding of more than 50% of the shares or voting rights or (b) the (in-)direct power to appoint or dismiss a majority of the members of the board of directors or to give binding instructions regarding the policy to be pursued.
B/ Article 7.2 of the credit agreement between the Company (as borrower) and ABN Amro Bank N.V. (as lender), which gives the lender the right, in the event of a change of control over the Company, and subject to a notice period of at least five business days, to terminate the credit agreement and declare all credits outstanding thereunder, plus accrued interest and any other amounts outstanding, immediately due and payable. "Control" shall mean: (A) the power (whether by way of ownership of shares, proxy, contract, agency or otherwise) to (i) cast, or control the casting of, more than 50% of the maximum number of votes that might be cast at any general meeting of shareholders of the Company, (ii) appoint or dismiss all, or the majority, of the directors or other equivalent officers of the Company, or (iii) give directions with respect to the operating and financial policies of the Company with which the directors or other equivalent officers of the Company must comply; or (B) the holding legally and/or beneficially of more than 50% of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding any part of that issued capital that carries no right to participate in a distribution of either profits or capital beyond a specified amount).
The general meeting of shareholders decides to appoint Jörg Heirman, Secretary General of the Company, and Monique Van der Sypt, corporate paralegal of the Company, as special proxy holders, each of them acting individually and with the right of substitution, to carry out all the required administrative formalities towards the administration of the Belgian Official Gazette, the clerk's office of the competent enterprise court, the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises and the VAT Administration and to sign all documents and deeds in this regard, as well as to perform, in general, anything that would be necessary or useful for the implementation of this resolution.
