ARTICLE 31: Decision-making process

a) The ordinary and extraordinary general meetings may validly deliberate and decide regardless of the number of shares present or represented. Decisions shall be made by a simple majority of votes. Abstentions or blank votes and invalid votes are ignored in the calculation of the majority. In the case of a tie, the proposal is rejected.

b) The extraordinary general meeting must be held before a notary public, who will draw up an authentic report. The general meeting may only validly deliberate and decide on an amendment to the articles of association if the persons participating in the meeting represent at least half of the share capital. If the abovementioned quorum is not reached, a new meeting must be convened in accordance with article 558 of the Belgian Company Code; the second meeting may validly deliberate and decide, regardless of the part of the capital present or represented.

Any amendment to the articles of association shall only be adopted if it has received three quarters of the votes attached to the shares present or represented. For the calculation of the required majority, the votes of abstainers, blank votes and invalid votes shall be counted as votes against.

c) Minutes shall be drawn up for each general meeting, and the attendance list and any reports and proxies shall be attached thereto.

The minutes of the general meeting of shareholders are signed by the members of the Committee and by the shareholders requesting them.

Copies and extracts shall be signed by two directors or by one managing director.

d) The shareholders can make all decisions that fall within the competence of the general meeting by unanimous vote and in writing, with the exception of decisions that must be executed by an authentic deed.
