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 Monday 14 May 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:

- (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.
