The Principal acknowledges to have been informed of the fact that, after the publication of the convening notice to attend the Meeting, one or more shareholders holding together at least 3% of the share capital of the Company may add new items to the agenda of the Meeting or new proposed resolutions concerning items put or to be put on the agenda. At the latest on Wednesday 14 November 2018, the Company will publish a revised agenda if it has validly received new items or new proposed resolutions to be added to the agenda of the Meeting. In this case the Company will also provide to the shareholders an updated proxy form that includes the new items or new proposed resolutions, and the rules set out hereunder will apply:

  • (a) if the present proxy has been validly communicated to the Company before the publication of the revised agenda of the Meeting, it will remain valid for the items of the agenda of the Meeting which have been initially mentioned in the convening notice to attend the Meeting;
  • (b) if the Company has published a revised agenda including one or more new proposed resolutions for items which were initially mentioned in the agenda, the law authorises the Proxyholder to deviate at the Meeting from the voting instructions possibly and initially given by the Principal if, in the Proxyholder's opinion, the execution of such instructions would risk to compromise the Principal's interests. The Proxyholder must inform the Principal if he deviates from his voting instructions;
  • (c) if the Company has published a revised agenda to include new items, the law imposes that the present proxy form indicates whether the Proxyholder is authorised or not to vote on these new items or whether he should abstain.

In view of the indications given in (c) above, the Principal: (***)

authorises the Proxyholder to vote on the new items to be put on the agenda of the Meeting

or

gives instruction to the Proxyholder to abstain from voting on the new items to be put on the agenda of the Meeting

If the Principal has not ticked one of the above boxes or has ticked both boxes, the Proxyholder will abstain from voting on the new items to be put on the agenda of the Meeting.

The present proxy is irrevocable. The shareholders who have validly given a proxy can no longer vote at the Meeting in person or by mail.
