AGENDA

1. Opening

2. Report of the Board of Directors in respect of the financial year 2016

3. Remuneration in respect of the financial year 2016

4. Adoption of the annual accounts for the financial year 2016 (voting item)

5. Allocation of the result for the financial year 2016 (voting item)

6. Discharge of the Executive Directors with respect to the performance of their duties during the financial year 2016 (voting item)

7. Discharge of the Non-Executive Directors with respect to the performance of their duties during the financial year 2016 (voting item)

8. Re- Appointment of the Executive Director and CEO, Dominic Wheatley (voting item)

9. Re-Appointment of the Non-Executive Directors Nigel Hammond, Tom Chaloner, Nick Winks and Peter Biewald (Chairman) for another term of three years (voting items)

The Non-Executive Directors over the last three years supported the Executives very well to achieve important company goals by contributing a lot of individual expertise in relevant business areas. The Executive management therefore proposes their re- appointment.

10. Appointment of Grant Thornton Accountants, Amsterdam, The Netherlands as auditors for the financial year 2017 (voting item)

11. Extension of the exercise date of share options in the name of Leo Capital 1 LLP to coincide with the repayment date of a Convertible Loan Note in the name of Leo Capital 1 LLP (voting item).

In May 2014, Leo Capital 1 LLP acquired share options over 100,000 shares exercisable at €20 per share (adjusted share basis). In 2015, Leo Capital 1 LLP exercised 20,000 of these options and, in 2017, a further 45,000 to support the investment and working capital requirements of the Group leaving a residual option over 35,000 shares. In view of the early partial exercise of the option and the support given to the Group by Leo Capital 1 LLP, the Board now proposes to extend the exercise date of the remaining 35,000 option from 31 December 2017 to 31 March 2019 which provides alignment with the scheduled repayment/exercise date of the Convertible Loan Note in the name of Leo Capital I LLP.
