Agenda item 9 - Authorisation of the Executive Board to acquire paid-up ordinary shares or depositary receipts for shares in NAI's own capital (vote).

On 2 June 2023, the AGM decided to authorise the Executive Board for a period of 18 months to acquire paid-up ordinary shares or depositary receipts for shares in NAI's own capital on behalf of NAI, subject to the conditions that:

  1. the maximum number of paid-up ordinary shares or depositary receipts for NAI shares that can be acquired by NAI is equal to 50% of the total number of outstanding shares immediately after the settlement date (as defined in the Prospectus);

In order to give the Executive Board the opportunity to obtain paid-up ordinary shares or depositary receipts for shares in NAI's own capital on behalf of NAI after 2 December 2024, this authorization must be revoked and reissued.

The Executive Board therefore proposes to the AGM to revoke the current authorization and to reissue this authorization for a period ending on 21 December 2025 or as soon as this authorization is renewed or revoked, on the understanding that the price for the acquisition of the paid-up ordinary shares or depositary receipts for NAI shares, excluding costs, may not exceed (at most) ten percent (10%) above the average share price of the NAI shares over the last five (5) working days prior to acquisition (instead of EUR 10.00).

This power is limited to 20% of the issued capital as of 21 June 2024, and to revoke the existing authorization of the Executive Board. Decisions of the Executive Board to limit or exclude the statutory right of pre-emption are subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board.

Agenda item 12 - Reappointment of BDO Audit & Assurance B.V. as external independent auditor of NAI for the financial year ending 31 December 2024 (vote).

For the financial year 2023, the AGM has appointed BDO as an external independent auditor for the audit of the financial statements 2023. In the selection of the external independent auditor for the financial year ending 31 December 2024, the Executive Board concluded that a reappointment of BDO would be best for NAI, given their knowledge of NAI, willingness to perform and their quality.
