5. Composition of the Supervisory Board

In addition, the Supervisory Board has decided to expand its Board with a sixth member, leading to two open vacancies.

The chair notes that a binding nomination of the Supervisory Board may only be rejected by the General Meeting with a resolution adopted by an absolute majority of the votes cast which represents at least one-third of the issued share capital.

No questions are raised and the chair proceeds to put the proposals to the vote.

5.a. Proposal to reappoint Mr Janus Smalbraak

The chair puts agenda item 5.a. to the vote. There are 43,885,877 votes cast in favour, 124,941 votes cast against and no votes abstained. The chair establishes that the General Meeting has reappointed Mr Smalbraak as member of the Supervisory Board for a second term of four years and congratulates Mr Smalbraak present with the broad support for his reappointment.

6. Designation of the Management Board as the body authorised to issue shares and to restrict or exclude the pre-emptive rights in relation thereto

The chair explains that based on the provisions of articles 6.1 and 6.3 of the company's articles of association it is proposed to designate the Management Board of IMCD N.V. as the body authorised too issue shares and/or grant rights to acquire shares and to restrict or exclude the pre-emptive rights in relation thereto, in both instances subject to approval of the Supervisory Board and for a period of 18 months from the date of this meeting, up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital as at 30 June 2020. These proposals are put to the vote as separate voting items, because of different quorum requirements.

The Management Board and Supervisory Board believe that it is in the interest of the company and its shareholders, that the Management Board is able to react in a timely manner when certain opportunities or situations arise that need the issue of shares. Therefore, as an annually recurring agenda item, the AGM is requested to authorise the Management Board to issue shares and to pass related pre-emptive rights in

4

situations where it is imperative to act quickly, without the need to obtain prior shareholder approval at an extraordinary general meeting which would take valuable time to convene and could create disruptive market speculation.

The chair asks if there are any questions relating to this proposal and established that there are no questions.

6.a. Designation of the Management Board as authorised body to issue shares

The chair puts agenda item 6.a. to the vote and establishes that, with 43,897,325 votes in favour, 113,493 votes against and no abstentions, the General Meeting has designated the Management Board as the corporate body authorised to issue shares and/or to grant rights to subscribe for shares up to 10% of the total number of issued shares outstanding on 30 June 2020, on the conditions and as proposed in the explanatory notes to agenda item 6.a. This authorisation will replace the authorisation granted to the Management Board at the 2019 AGM.

6.b. Designation of the MB as authorised body to restrict or exclude the pre-emptive rights on shares as described under 6.a.

The chair continues to put agenda item 6.b. put to the vote, whilst explaining that this resolution requires a majority of at least two thirds of the votes cast if less than one half of the issued share capital is present or represented. As more than one half of the issued share capital is present or represented, the two third quorum requirements are not applicable.

On the basis of the votes cast, the chair establishes that with 39,566,691 votes in favour, 4,444,127 votes against and no abstentions, the General Meeting has designated the Management Board as the corporate body to restrict or exclude the pre-emptive rights in respect of the issue of shares or the granting of rights to acquire shares pursuant to the authorisation given under agenda item 6.a. on the conditions and as proposed in the explanatory notes to the agenda.

The chair proceeds with the final agenda item left for the meeting.

7. Authorisation of the Management Board to acquire shares

The proposed authorisation will replace the authorisation granted to the Management Board at the 2019 AGM. There are no questions raised and the chair puts the proposal set forth in agenda item 7. to the vote.

On the basis of the votes cast, the chair establishes that 43,783,978 votes are cast in favour, 126,137 votes are cast against and 64,703 votes abstained, meaning that the General Meeting has authorised the Management Board for a period of 18 months, starting 30 June 2020, to purchase fully paid-up shares in the company's share capital on the conditions and as proposed in agenda item 7 and as further set forth in the explanatory notes to the agenda of the meeting.
