Annual General Meeting

As a shareholder, you can participate and vote at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. You have as many voting rights as you own (or represent) shares. Registered shares held for more than two years on the 31st of December of the year preceding the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting are entitled to a double voting right.

The procedure to attend the Meeting is different according to each type of share account:

• Registered shares (direct or administrated): you must place your shares on record by midnight CET three days before the General Meeting date. You can get your participation form by filling in the dedicated section in the call to meeting. You will need this participation form to attend the meeting. If you are not able to attend the meeting, you can vote by mail, appoint someone as proxy, or appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as proxy.
• Bearer: you must place your shares on record by midnight CET three days before the General Meeting date. You must present a statement from the bank or broker that manages your bearer share account attesting that the shares have been placed on record when requesting your admission card. If you are not able to attend the meeting, you can vote by mail, appoint someone as proxy, or appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as proxy.
