Acknowledgement of the report of the board of directors in accordance with article 7:228 of the Belgian Companies and Associations Code with a proposal to improve the Company's equity as included in agenda item 2 for the absorption of losses carried through the decrease of the issuance premiums and a formal capital decrease.
    1. Deliberation on and approval of the continuation of the Company's activities and recovery measures in accordance with article 7:228 of the Belgian Companies and Associations Code: decrease of the issuance premiums and share capital for the absorption of losses.

Proposed resolution:

Following acknowledgement of the report of the board of directors referred to in agenda item 1, it is decided (i) to continue the Company's operations and (ii) to approve the recovery measures proposed by the board of directors to improve the Company's equity.

In this respect it is decided (i) to decrease the balance sheet item "issuance premiums" for an amount of twelve thousand nine-hundred forty-nine euro and fifty-three cent (EUR 12,949.53) for the absorption by said amount to part of the losses carried over up to 31 December 2018 resulting in the reduction of the balance sheet item "issuance premiums" to zero euro (EUR 0.00) and (ii) to implement a formal decrease of the share capital of the Company for an amount of thirty-six million nine-hundred twenty thousand fourteen euro and eighty-seven cent (EUR 36,920.014,87) for the absorption by said amount to the balance of the losses carried over up to 31 December 2018; following this transactions, all losses transferred up to 31 December 2018 should be absorbed.

Through this capital decrease, the share capital of the Company shall be reduced from one-hundred forty-seven million nine-hundred seventy-six thousand nine-hundred forty-six euro and eight-seven cent (EUR 147,976,946.87) to one-hundred eleven million fifty-six thousand nine-hundred thirty-two euro and zero cent (EUR 111,056,932.00), without cancellation of existing shares. The capital decrease shall be borne in the same way by each of the existing shares. Therefore, following the realisation of the capital decrease, each share shall represent an equal part of the share capital remaining following the decrease. From a tax perspective, the capital decrease shall only be imputed to the actual paid-up share capital.

  1. Amendment articles of association.

Proposed resolution:

The articles of association of the Company shall be amended in accordance with the decisions taken with respect to the formal capital decrease in the second item on the agenda: amendment of the amount of the share capital in article 5 of the articles of association.

  1. Proxy.

Proposed resolution:

The meeting grants a special power of attorney to the board of directors and the managing director, with the right of substitution, with the broadest powers that are necessary or useful for the implementation of the decisions taken. Furthermore, the meeting grants a special power of attorney to the enacting notary to draft and to sign the coordinated version of the articles of association and to file them with the registry of the competent commercial court, in accordance with the applicable legal provisions.
