Deposited Securities: Ordinary shares of the Company. Custodian: Citibank Europe plc. The undersigned Holder of the ADSs identified above, as of the ADS Record Date, hereby authorizes and directs the Depositary to cause to be voted at the Shareholders’ Meetings (and any adjournment or postponement thereof) the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs in the manner indicated on the reverse side hereof. The undersigned recognizes that any sale, transfer or cancellation of ADSs before the Share Record Date will invalidate these voting instructions if the Depositary is unable to verify the continued ownership of ADSs as of the Share Record Date. Voting instructions may be given only in respect of a number of ADSs representing an integral number of Deposited Securities. Upon the timely receipt from a Holder of ADSs, as of the ADS Record Date and as of the Share Record Date, of voting instructions in the manner specified by the Depositary, the Depositary shall endeavor, insofar as practicable and permitted under applicable law, the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, Articles of Association of the Company and the provisions of the Deposited Securities, to vote, or cause the Custodian to vote, the Deposited Securities (in person or by proxy) represented by such Holder’s ADSs in accordance with such voting instructions. The Depositary agrees not to vote, cause to be voted or attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches to any Deposited Securities, other than in accordance with valid voting instructions given or deemed given in compliance with the Deposit Agreement. Deposited Securities represented by ADSs for which no timely voting instructions are received by the Depositary from the Holder shall not be voted (except as otherwise described herein). Neither the Depositary nor the Custodian shall under any circumstances exercise any discretion as to voting and neither the Depositary nor the Custodian shall vote, attempt to exercise the right to vote, or in any way make use of, for purposes of establishing a quorum or otherwise, the Deposited Securities represented by ADSs, except pursuant to and in accordance with the voting instructions timely received from Holders or as otherwise contemplated herein. If the Depositary timely receives voting instructions from a Holder which fail to specify the manner in which the Depositary is to vote the Deposited Securities represented by such Holder’s ADSs, the Depositary will deem such Holder to have instructed the Depositary to vote in favor of the items set forth in such voting instructions. The right of any holders of ADSs to give instructions to the Depositary as to the exercise of voting rights may be limited if such holder fails to comply with the requirements under Belgian law (which are summarized in Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 of the Deposit Agreement). In order to exercise voting rights, an owner who is not the registered holder of ADSs on the books of the Depositary will be required, subject to applicable provisions of the laws of Belgium, the Articles of Association of the Company and the Deposit Agreement, to have such ownership of ADSs, verified by the Depositary as of the Share Record Date. Please indicate on the reverse side hereof how the Deposited Securities are to be voted. The Voting Instructions must be marked, signed and returned on time in order to be counted. By signing on the reverse side hereof, the undersigned represents to the Depositary and the Company that the undersigned is duly authorized to give the Voting Instructions contained therein.
