3. Allocation of results and approval of dividend payment for the year ended December 31, 2018

In accordance with applicable Luxembourg lawand the Company's articles of association, theCompany is required to allocate 5% of its annual net income to a legal reserve, until this reserve equals 10% of the subscribed capital. As indicated in the Company's2018 annual accounts, theCompany's legal reserve already amounts to 10%of its subscribed capital, and, accordingly, the legal requirements in that respect are satisfied.

The Board of Directors proposes that a dividend payable in U.S. dollars on May 14, 2019, in the amount of USD 0.12 per Share (or USD 1.20 per ADR), which represents an aggregate sum of approximately USD 235,569,213 million (which isnet of the Company's Treasury Shares), beapproved and that the Board of Directors be authorized to determine or amend, in its discretion, the terms and conditions of the dividend payment, including the applicable record date. Accordingly,

if this dividend proposal is approved, the Company will make, or cause to be made, a dividend payment on May 14, 2019, in the amount of USD 0.12 per Share (or USD 1.20 per ADR).

While the Company's annual accounts as atDecember 31, 2018 show a loss for 2018, theCompany's consolidated financial statements as ofDecember 31, 2018 and 2017 and for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 show a profit of USD 1,662,132,938. Considering theCompany's retainedearnings and other distributable reserves, the Company has distributable amounts which exceed the proposed dividend.

The aggregate amount of approximately USD 235,569,213(which is net of the Company'sTreasury Shares) to be distributed as dividend on May 14, 2019, is to bepaid from the Company'sretained earnings account. The loss of the year ended December 31, 2018, would be absorbed bythe Company's retainedearnings account.

Upon approval of this resolution, it is proposed that the Board of Directors be authorized to determine or amend, in its discretion, any of the terms and conditions (including payment date) of the dividend payment.

Draft resolution proposed to be adopted:"the Meeting resolved (i) to approve a dividend, payable in U.S. dollars, on May 14, 2019, in the amount of USD 0.12 per share issued and outstanding (or USD 1.20 per ADR), (ii) to authorize the Board of Directors to determine or amend, in its discretion, any of the terms and conditions of such dividend payment, including the applicable record date, (iii) that the aggregate amount of approximately USD 235,569,213(which is net of the Company'sTreasury Shares) to be distributed as dividend on May 14, 2019, be paid from the Company's retainedearnings reserve, and (iv) that the loss of the year ended December 31, 2018, be absorbed by theCompany's retained earnings account."

5. Election of the members of the Board of Directors

Pursuant to article 7 of the Company's articles ofassociation, the annual general meeting must elect a Board of Directors of not less than three and not more than fifteen members, who shall have a term of office of one year, but may be reappointed.

Pursuant to article 11 of the Company's articles ofassociation and applicable securities laws and regulations, the Company must have an auditcommittee (the "Audit Committee") composed ofthree members, the majority of which shall qualify as"independent directors".
