    Note to the shareholders: the adjustment of the remuneration was agreed between the Company and the Statutory Auditor and compensates for the additional work of the Statutory Auditor as a result of the expansion of the consolidation scope due to the Basecamp transaction in 2022.
  4. Reappointment of the Statutory Auditor of the Company.
    Proposed resolution:The General Meeting appoints PwC Bedrijfsrevisoren BV, with registered office at 1831 Diegem, Culliganlaan 5, as Statutory Auditor for a term of three years. In accordance with Article 3:60 of the Belgian Companies and Associations Code, the aforementioned company appoints Jeroen Bockaert BV (B00972), company auditor, to carry out the mandate, with permanent representative Jeroen Bockaert, also company auditor. The mandate expires after the general meeting approving the annual accounts as at December 31, 2026. The remuneration for this mandate amounts to EUR 96,200 per year (excluding VAT, accrued expenses, the IBR contribution and including ESEF, EMIR, consolidation and lump sum allowance for technology and compliance costs) subject to annual adjustments in function of the evolution of the consumer price index or as agreed between the parties.
    Note to the shareholders:The third three-year mandate of PwC Bedrijfsrevisoren BV ("PwC") expires at the Annual General Meeting on May 16, 2024.
    Therefore, in accordance with the requirements of Article 3:61, §3 of the Belgian Companies and Associations Code and Articles 16 and 17 of EU Regulation No. 537/2014, the Company organized a public tender procedure for the appointment of its statutory auditor.
    Upon completion of the public tender procedure, the Audit and Risk Committee ("ARC") of the Company deliberated on this procedure, evaluated the proposals received from participating audit firms in accordance with the selection criteria predefined in the tender documents published on the Company's website, and submitted a formal recommendation to the Board of Directors.
    In accordance with applicable law, the ARC formally recommended two audit firms (including PwC) to the Board of Directors, with a preference for PwC that was reasoned based on the above selection criteria. PwC emerged as the best candidate based on an overall assessment of the selection criteria. In its formal recommendation to the Board of Directors, the ARC also stated that

its recommendation was free from third-party influence and that the Company is not bound by any contractual clause that restricts the Company's shareholders' meeting to select the auditor to certain categories or lists of auditors or audit firms.

Based on the Board's review of the procedure and outcome of the public tender process and the ARC's formal recommendation, and after thorough and careful consideration, the Board of Directors unanimously decided to propose to the Company's shareholders' meeting to reappoint PwC as auditor in accordance with the terms set forth in the proposed resolution.

In connection with the financing of its operations, the Company has entered into the following (re)financing agreements:

The exercise of these rights is subject to a change of control (as defined in the respective Financing Agreements) over (or a public take-over bid on) the Company.

Proposed resolution: The General Meeting approves, with application of article 7:151 of the Belgian Companies and Associations Code, the fact that the Company is party to the Financing Agreements and that certain provisions of the Financing Agreements grant rights to third parties that affect the assets of the Company or create a debt or an obligation to be borne by the Company, the exercise of which is subject to a change of control (as defined in the respective Financing Agreements) over (or a public takeover bid for) the Company.
