The Ordinary General Meeting has accepted the proposal to distribute a gross dividend of 5.60 EUR (3.92 EUR net) per share to shareholders (coupon No. 35). It is specified that the 32,959 treasury shares held by the company do not entitle the holder to any dividend allocation from the company itself.

4. Approval of the remuneration policy

The Ordinary General Meeting approved the remuneration policy in accordance with principle 7.3 of the Belgian Corporate Governance Code 2020.

5. Renewal of four Directors' mandate

The General Meeting renewed, with immediate effect, the mandate of Mr. Olivier Chapelle, of Mr. Maurice Gauchot and of Mrs. Inès Archer-Toper as independent Directors in accordance with article 7:87 of the Code of Companies and Associations and at the disposal 3.5 of the Belgian Corporate Governance Code 2020, until the end of the Ordinary General Meeting that will be held in 2024.

The General Meeting renewed, with immediate effect, the mandate of Mr Xavier de Walque as independent Director in accordance with article 7:87 of the Code of Companies and Associations until the end of the Ordinary General Meeting that will be held in 2024. The Board considered appropriate to deviate from one of the independence criteria provided by disposal 3.5 of the Belgian Corporate Governance Code 2020. Indeed, insofar that Mr. de Walque's mandate, which exceeds 12 years, in no way impairs his independence. Indeed, Mr. de Walque does not have any relationship with the Company or with a major shareholder of the Company which could jeopardise his independence. Moreover, Mr. de Walque has always demonstrated during the exercise of his mandate that he has a free, independent and critical mind while putting forward the good of the company.

6. Renewal of the term of the Statutory Auditor

The Ordinary General Meeting has accepted the proposal to renew the mandate of the SC s.f.d. SCRL Deloitte Réviseurs d'Entreprises/Bedrijsrevisoren, represented by Mr. Rik Neckebroeck, registered auditor, having its registered office located at 1930 Zaventem, Luchthaven Nationaal 1J, until the end of the Ordinary General Meeting to be held in 2023. Moreover, it accepted the proposal to set the auditor's annual fee at 146,000 EUR, excluding VAT and disbursements, to be indexed annually according to the evolution of the health index.
