Attendance instructions
Registration date
Shareholders may exercise voting rights if they hold shares in the share capital of the Company on 24 April 2025 (the “Registration Date“) and are registered as such in the administrations held by the banks and brokers that are intermediaries (the “Intermediaries“).
Attending in person
Shareholders who wish to attend the General Meeting in person or wish to authorize others to represent them at the General Meeting and are entitled to attend the General Meeting must register themselves at ABN AMRO via www.abnamro.com/shareholder or through the Intermediary in whose administration the shareholder is registered as holder of shares of the Company, no later than 5:00 pm CET on 15 May 2025.
The Intermediaries must provide to ABN AMRO, via www.abnamro.com/intermediary, no later than 1:00 pm CET on 16 May 2025 a statement identifying the number of shares held by the shareholder on the Registration Date and presented for registration, as well as the full address details of the shareholder concerned in order to be able to verify the shareholding on the Registration Date in an efficient manner.
The shareholder will receive from ABN AMRO directly or via the Intermediary, proof of registration (the “Registration Card“) with a registration number by e-mail. This Registration Card will serve as an admission ticket to the General Meeting and should be brought to the General Meeting in order to gain admission in person.
Proxy and voting instructions
A shareholder who does not wish to attend the General Meeting in person may, without prejudice to the above with regard to registration, grant an electronic proxy with voting instructions via the evoting system of ABN AMRO (www.abnamro.com/shareholder) no later than 5:00 pm CET on 15 May 2025. This electronic proxy with voting instructions in the ABN AMRO evoting system is granted to M.A.J. Cremers, civil-law notary in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and/or her legal substitute and/or each civil-law notary of Stibbe.1
A proxy can be granted with or without voting instructions. In case a proxy is granted without voting instructions it shall be deemed to include a voting instruction in favor of all proposals made by the Management Board. M.A.J. Cremers is authorised to share the voting instructions given by a Shareholder with the Management Board of the Company, unless the Shareholder explicitly states by email to [email protected] no later than 5:00 pm CET on 15 May 2025 that he/she does not consent to the sharing of the voting instructions given by him/her.
In the event the Shareholder later decides to attend the meeting he/she has the possibility to withdraw his/her proxy and voting instruction prior to the meeting, at the reception desk of the venue of the General Meeting.
Admission on the day of the General Meeting
Admission will take place at the registration desk at the venue of the General Meeting between 1:30 pm CET and 1:50 pm CET, with 2:00 pm CET being the start of the General Meeting on 22 May 2025.
It is not possible to be admitted after this time. Attendees may be asked to identify themselves prior to being admitted to the meeting and are therefore requested to bring a valid identity document. Access may be declined in case no proof of registration or identification can be provided.
