1. THE RIGHT OF SHAREHOLDERS TO ADD NEW AGENDA ITEMS TO THE AGENDA OF THE GENERAL MEETING AND/OR PRESENT NEW PROPOSALS FOR DECISION CONCERNING ITEMS THAT WERE OR WILL BE REFLECTED ON THE AGENDA.
One or more shareholders who together own at least 3% of the share capital of the company have the right to (i) add new agenda items to the agenda of the ordinary, extraordinary and special general meeting which will take place on 2 May 2012 at 1.30 pm at the registered office of the company at 3001 Heverlee, Gaston Geenslaan 1 and/or to (ii) present new proposals for decision concerning agenda items that were or will be written in the agenda.
Any shareholder(s) who exercise(s) this right must comply with the following two conditions for their question to be eligible for consideration at the general meeting:
- (1) they must prove that they hold the above mentioned percentage on the date of their request (either by producing a certificate of registration of those shares in the share register of the company, or by producing a certificate from a financial intermediary which demonstrates that the relevant number of bearer shares were delivered or by producing a certificate from a recognized account holder or by a clearing house evidencing that the relevant number of dematerialised shares are registered in the shareholders name on an account held by the recognized account holder or by the clearing house); and
- (2) they must demonstrate that they are still a shareholder holding 3% of the share capital on the record date (18 April 2012 at 24.00 hours).
This right can be exercised by delivering the text of the new agenda items and equivalent proposals for decisions and/or the text of the proposals for decision to be reflected on the agenda to the company via e-mail ([email protected]). Any requests to this end must arrive at the company at the latest on 10 April 2012. The company will confirm receipt of these requests by e-mail or postal services at the address provided to it by the shareholder.
The agenda which will then, as the case may be, be modified will be published at the latest on 17 April 2012 (on the website of the company at the following address in the Belgian Official Gazette and in the press).
An ad hoc form for voting by proxy completed with the additional items and/or proposals for decision will be made available on the company website at the following address: at the same time as the publication of the revised agenda, namely at the latest on 17 April 2012.
The proxies that the company has been informed of before the publication of the revised agenda remain valid for those agenda items they cover. As an exception to this rule, the proxy holder can, for the agenda items for which in accordance with article 533ter of the Belgian Companies Code new proposals for decisions have been submitted, deviate during the meeting from the instructions of the proxy giver, if carrying out the instructions could prejudice the interests of the proxy giver. The proxy holder must inform the proxy giver of this. The proxy must state whether the proxy holder is entitled to vote on the newly-added items on the agenda, or if he/she should abstain.
2. RIGHT OF THE SHAREHOLDERS TO ASK QUESTIONS IN WRITING
