  6. Proposed resolution: The General Meeting grants discharge to the Company's Statutory Auditor for its mandate for the financial year ended 31 December 2022.
  7. Approval of adjustment of remuneration of non-executive directors.

    • Proposed resolution: The General Meeting decides to adjust the remuneration of the non-executive directors with effect from the 1st of January 2023 as follows:
    • At the level of the Board of Directors: a fixed annual fee of EUR 47,500 for the non-executive director who is the Chairman of the Board and EUR 37,500 for any other non-executive director. Attendance fees will no longer be paid for participation in meetings of the Board of Directors;
    • At the level of the Audit & Risk committee (new name of the Audit committee): a fixed annual fee of EUR 8,000 for the non-executive director who is the Chairman of this committee and EUR 4,000 for any other non-executive director who is a member of this committee. No attendance fees will be paid for participation in the meetings of this committee;
    • At the level of the Remuneration and Nomination committee: a fixed annual fee of EUR 8,000 for the non-executive director who is the Chairman of this committee and EUR 4,000 for any other non- executive director who is a member of this committee. No attendance fees will be paid for participation in the meetings of this committee;
    • At the level of the Ethics & ESG committee: a fixed annual fee of EUR 4,000 for all non-executive directors who are members of this committee. No attendance fees will be paid for participation in the meetings of this committee;
    • At the level of the Investment committee: a fixed annual fee of EUR 20,000 (instead of the current amount of EUR 10,000) for all non-executive directors who are members of the investment committee (currently only Mr. Joost Uwents). Attendance fees will no longer be paid for participation in the meetings of this committee;
      The existing flat-rate expense allowance of EUR 2,500 per year remains applicable to directors domiciled in Belgium. For directors domiciled outside Belgium, it will be increased to EUR 5,000. The Company's remuneration policy will be adjusted in accordance with the above.

Note: The Nomination and Remuneration Committee conducts an analysis of directors' compensation on a two-yearly basis. This analysis has led to the aforementioned proposal to adjust the compensation of non-executive directors. The reasons are as follows: (i) since the beginning of this year, the Company has chosen to limit committee membership within the Board to three members per committee (rather than all non-executive directors as in the past) with the intention of allowing the committees to go deeper and with more focus on certain topics. Given the significant additional time effort required of committee members for this purpose (more preparation time and more meetings), it therefore makes sense to remunerate committee membership separately, (ii)

the chairmen of both the board of directors and the committees play a more extensive role in the preparation of dossiers and coordination of the board of directors and the committees, which merits appropriate remuneration, (iii) the role of director at Xior involves much more than attending a number of meetings, ongoing involvement is required of directors (e.g. for contacts with various departments of the company, preparation of complex files), it is therefore more appropriate to remunerate the task of directors entirely with a fixed remuneration rather than partially with a fixed remuneration and partially with attendance fees, (iv) finally, it allows the Company to organize additional meetings more flexibly without incurring additional costs, which allows maximum involvement of the directors. Based on the current composition of the board of directors and committees (i.e. at the date of the notice of meeting), the estimated total compensation of the non- executive directors for 2023 based on the aforementioned proposal totals EUR 295,000, which is approximately 17.24% more than the total non-executive directors' compensation paid for 2022. The aforementioned increase is partly due to the fact that for the full year 2023 there will be six non-executive directors, while in 2022 up to 19 May 2022 there were only five non-executive directors and is otherwise justifiable based on the increased complexity of the Company (8 countries instead of 4 countries and strong growth of all relevant parameters such as staff and number of units).

2. Approval pursuant to Article 7:151 of the Code of Companies and Associations

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

(i) a credit agreement (Bridge Term Facility Agreement) dated 2 September 2022 for an amount of EUR 250.000.000 between the Company as borrower and ABN AMRO Bank NV as lender, (ii) a credit agreement (Committed Term Loan Facility Agreement) dated 5 January 2023 for an amount of EUR 50.000.000 between the Company as borrower and ING Belgium NV as lender, (iii) a) a credit agreement (Term Loan Facility Agreement) dated 8 June 2022 for an amount of EUR 24.750.000 between the Company as borrower and Argenta Spaarbank NV as lender, b) a credit agreement (Term Loan Facility Agreement) dated 27 September 2022 for an amount of EUR 18.000.000 between the Company as borrower and Argenta Spaarbank NV as lender and c) a credit agreement (Term Loan Facility Agreement) dated 27 September 2022 for an amount of EUR 17.000.000 between the Company as borrower and Argenta Spaarbank NV as lender and (iv) a credit agreement (Term Loan Facilities Agreement) dated 31 August 2022 for an amount of EUR 28.000.000 between the Company as borrower and Bank of China (Europe) NV as credit provider (together the "Financing Agreements").

These Financing Agreements contain, inter alia, provisions granting rights to third parties (in particular the financing banks, in this case ABN AMRO Bank NV, ING Belgium NV, Argenta Spaarbank NV and Bank of China (Europe) NV) that may have an impact on the assets of the Company or create a debt or an obligation for the Company (among others, cancellation of credit lines and/or immediate acceleration and repayment). 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 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.

3. Merged companies
