EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF THE SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholders,

an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders was initially convened for 3 November 2022, at 15:00 CET (the First EGM). At the First EGM, less than one half of the share capital of the Company was represented. Thus, the First EGM did not meet the requirements of article 10.2 of the articles of association of the Company (the Articles) and article 450-3(2) of the Law of 10 August 1915 on commercial companies, as amended (the Companies Law) and could not validly deliberate on its agenda.

In accordance with article 10.2 of the Articles and article 450-3(2) of the Companies Law, the management board now invites all shareholders to a resumed extraordinary general meeting which is to be opened form the Company’s registered office on 20 December 2022 at 10:00 (CET) (the Resumed EGM), with the same agenda as the First EGM and the Adjourned EGM as further set out below.

Therefore, shareholders who have in accordance with the respective convening notice duly and timely delivered a proxy or a voting form in respect of the First EGM or the Adjourned EGM, and who wish to maintain their respective instructions or vote, do not need to take any action. In case of proxies and votes cast prior to the First EGM the aforementioned further being subject to the shareholders having duly delivered a Record Date Attestation indicating shares held on 8 November 2022 at 00:00 (CET).
