          These values are based on the assumption that neither Viohalco nor any of the Absorbed Companies shall distribute any dividend or other distributions to their respective shareholders prior to completion of the Transaction.


          Taking into account the above values for the Merging Companies and the current number of outstanding shares in each company, the value of the shares of each Merging Company is as follows:


          • each share of Viohalco has a value of EUR 5.08622725899878 ;

      4. The proposed share exchange ratios between Viohalco and each of the Absorbed Companies is set as follows:

        • in relation to Elval, the proposed share exchange ratio is set at 1.29243192046551:1, i.e. it is proposed that the shareholders of Elval exchange 1.29243192046551 of their shares in Elval for one new share in Viohalco;


        • in relation to Diatour, the proposed share exchange ratio is set at 0.581797828936709:1, i.e. it is proposed that the shareholders of Diatour exchange 0.581797828936709 of their shares in Diatour for one new share in Viohalco;

      5. Viohalco currently holds 68.39% of the shares of Elval, 98.74% of the shares of Diatour and 99.36% of the shares of Alcomet. In accordance with article 703 §2, 1° of the BCC and article 75, §4 of the Greek Codified Law 2190/1920, in the context of the Cross-Border Merger, no New Shares will be issued to Viohalco in its capacity of shareholder of respectively Elval, Diatour and Alcomet. The shares in Elval, Diatour and Alcomet held by Viohalco will be cancelled on completion of the Cross-Border Merger pursuant to article 78, §6 of the Royal Decree implementing the Belgian Companies Code and article 75 of the Greek Codified Law 2190/1920.


        In addition, Diatour, Alcomet and Eufina currently hold respectively 0.82%, 3.45% and 1.65% of the shares of Elval. By applying by analogy article 703 §2, 1° of the BCC, article 75, §4 of the Greek Codified Law 2190/1920 and article 274 of the Luxembourg Law, and taking into account the fact that each of Diatour, Alcomet, Eufina and Elval will be absorbed by Viohalco in the context of the Cross-Border Merger, no New Shares will be issued to Viohalco (in its capacity as absorbing entity of Diatour, Alcomet, Eufina and Elval) for the shares held by Diatour, Alcomet and Eufina in Elval. The shares in Elval held by Diatour, Alcomet and Eufina will be cancelled pursuant to article 78, §6 of the Royal Decree implementing the Belgian Companies Code, article 274(1)(d) of the Luxembourg Law and the provisions of Greek Codified Law 2190/1920 due to confusion.


      6. Since the exchange ratios set out above do not allow to issue a whole number of New Shares to the former shareholders of Elval, Diatour, Alcomet and Eufina in exchange for the shares held by such shareholders in Elval, Diatour, Alcomet and Eufina (as applicable), the following principles will apply:
