Sir, Madam,
We have the pleasure to convene you to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Syensqo SA to be held on Tuesday 6 May 2025 at 10.30 a.m. (Belgian time) at SQUARE Brussels, Mont des Arts, 1000 Brussels, Belgium (the "Shareholders' Meeting"). The agenda of this Shareholders' Meeting is attached hereto.
The Shareholders' Meeting will be organised in a hybrid manner, both in person and virtually. Shareholders who wish to do so will be able to participate physically in the Shareholders' Meeting. Alternatively, those who wish to do so can exercise their rights either by granting a proxy form or by a vote by correspondence form or by participating and voting live in a virtual and interactive manner at the Shareholders' Meeting.
Shareholders have the choice of using the Lumi Connect platform (www.lumiconnect.com) or directly contacting Syensqo SA to complete the participation formalities (as described below). However, virtual participation in the Shareholders' Meeting always requires the use of the Lumi Connect platform. A document explaining the different steps to follow for the use of the Lumi Connect platform will be available on our website.
The resolution proposals will be submitted for electronic votes. Proxy votes and votes by correspondence will be counted in advance and systematically recorded for each point. One share is equal to one vote.
No formalities are required.
In order to be admitted to the Shareholders' Meeting, a double formality will apply:
On the one hand, only persons who are shareholders of Syensqo SA on Tuesday 22 April 2025 at midnight (Belgian time) (hereinafter the "record date") will have the right to participate and vote at the Shareholders' Meeting, without taking into account the number of shares held by the shareholders on the day of the Shareholders' Meeting.

To this end, you will find enclosed a PROXY FORM and a VOTE BY CORRESPONDENCE FORM that you may send us, duly completed and signed. The proxy form or the vote by correspondence form must be in our possession by Wednesday 30 April 2025 at the latest. The proxy form or the vote by correspondence form must be sent exclusively directly to Syensqo SA (and not via the Lumi Connect platform).
If you return the proxy form or the vote by correspondence form, you will still be able to attend the Shareholders' Meeting in person, but you will not be able to vote yourself as your proxy vote or vote by correspondence will already have been taken into account.
Shareholders who choose to use the Lumi Connect platform can use the platform to register to participate and vote remotely at the Shareholders' Meeting.
If you intend to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting, you will have to produce a certificate issued by an authorised account holder or a clearing organisation holding your securities account, certifying the registration in the shareholder's name of the number of dematerialised shares on the record date, i.e. on Tuesday 22 April 2025 at midnight, and for which you have declared your wish to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting.
For shareholders who choose to use the Lumi Connect platform, the platform allows to directly issue this certificate which, in this case, will be directly transmitted to the company.
Only persons who are shareholders of Syensqo SA on Tuesday 22 April 2025 at midnight (Belgian time) will be entitled to participate and vote at the Shareholders' Meeting, without taking into account the number of shares held by the shareholders on the day of the Shareholders' Meeting.
For shareholders who wish to be represented at the Shareholders' Meeting, you will find enclosed a PROXY FORM which you may send to us, duly completed and signed. For shareholders who wish to vote by correspondence at the Shareholders' Meeting, you will find enclosed a VOTE BY CORRESPONDENCE FORM which you may send to us, duly completed and signed. The proxy form or the vote by correspondence form must be in our possession by Wednesday 30 April 2025 at the latest. The proxy form or the vote by correspondence form must be sent exclusively directly to Syensqo SA (and not via the Lumi Connect platform).
If you return the proxy form or the vote by correspondence form, you will still be able to attend the Shareholders' Meeting in person, but you will not be able to vote yourself, as your proxy vote or vote by correspondence will already have been taken into account.
Shareholders who choose to use the Lumi Connect platform can register to participate and vote remotely during the Shareholders' Meeting.
The above-mentioned documents must be sent to Syensqo SA, either by post to the address of its registered office: Syensqo SA, Shareholders' Meeting, 98 rue de la Fusée, 1130 Brussels, or by e-mail: [email protected]. Shareholders who choose to use the Lumi Connect platform can use the platform to submit the above-mentioned documents, with the exception of the proxy form or the vote by correspondence form which must always be sent directly to Syensqo SA.

The proxy form and the vote par correspondence form are available at the registered office of the company and via its website: (https://www.syensqo.com/en/investors/shareholders-meetings) and from the following financial institutions: BNP Paribas Fortis, ING.
For the proxy vote, the designated proxy holder does not necessarily have to be a shareholder of Syensqo SA. When appointing the proxy, the shareholder must be particularly attentive to situations of potential conflict of interest between himself and his proxy holder (cf. Art 7:143, §4 of the Code of Companies and Associations). This provision applies in particular to the Chairman of the Shareholders' Meeting, the members of the Board of Directors, the members of the Executive Committee and, in general, the employees of Syensqo SA, their spouses or legal cohabitants and persons related to them.
If you have completed the formalities for voting by proxy or by correspondence at the Shareholders' Meeting, you may follow a live webcast of the Shareholders' Meeting organised by the company. Shareholders are invited to consult the company's website (https://www.syensqo.com/en/investors/shareholders-meetings) to find out how to access this webcast. Shareholders who have voted by proxy or by correspondence may not vote during the webcast.
Shareholders can choose to participate in and vote virtually during the Shareholders' Meeting via the Lumi Connect platform. In this case, voting takes place during the Shareholders' Meeting, which shareholders attend via the Lumi Connect platform. There is no need to give a proxy form nor vote by correspondence form in this case.
In order to be able to virtually participate in and vote during the Shareholders' Meeting, a double formality will apply:

On the other hand, you must confirm your intention to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting. To do so, you need to confirm your intention to participate in the Shareholders' meeting on the Lumi Connect platform no later than the sixth day prior to the date of the Shareholders' Meeting, i.e. Wednesday 30 April 2025 at the latest.

In the event that shareholders, in accordance with Article 7:130 of the Companies and Associations Code, exercise their right to add items to the agenda and to submit resolution proposals, the proxy and vote by correspondence forms notified prior to the publication of the amended agenda will remain valid for the agenda items they cover. In the event that new/alternative proposals for resolutions are submitted in respect of existing agenda items subsequent to the proxy forms notified to Syensqo SA, the proxy holder shall abstain from voting on the new/alternative proposals for resolutions. However, in this case, shareholders will have the option of sending Syensqo SA a revised proxy or a revised vote by correspondence form.
Shareholders may submit written questions prior to the Shareholders' Meeting. Written questions will only be answered to the extent that the shareholder submitting them has complied with the above-mentioned conditions of admission in accordance with article 7:134 of the Code of Companies and Associations and if the written questions have been received by Syensqo SA by Wednesday 30 April 2025 at the latest, either by mail at the address of its registered office: Syensqo SA, Shareholders' Meeting, 98 rue de la Fusée, 1130 Brussels, or by e-mail: [email protected].
