Preliminary statement<br />
Prior to discussing the sole item on<br />
the agenda, the board of directors<br />
acknowledged that, in accordance with<br />
Article 523 of the Companies Code, Gil<br />
Beyen BVBA, represented by Gil Beyen,<br />
declared to have an interest of a patrimonial<br />
nature which is conflicting with the decisions<br />
that fall within the scope of the powers of the<br />
board of directors, in particular with respect<br />
to the management and termination fees<br />
payable to Gil Beyen BVBA, represented<br />
by Gil Beyen, pursuant to an amended<br />
consultancy agreement between the<br />
Company and Gil Beyen BVBA, represented<br />
by Gil Beyen.<br />
In accordance with Article 523 of the<br />
Companies Code, the auditor of the<br />
Company, BDO Bedrijfsrevisoren BV CVBA,<br />
represented by Gert Claes, will be informed<br />
of the existence of the conflict of interests.<br />
Furthermore, the minutes of the resolutions<br />
regarding the amended consultancy<br />
agreement between the Company and Gil<br />
Beyen BVBA, represented by Gil Beyen, will<br />
be entirely included in the annual report<br />
of the board of directors in relation to the<br />
financial year ending 31 December <strong>2012</strong>.<br />
Following this statement, Gil Beyen BVBA,<br />
represented by Gil Beyen, left the conference<br />
call in accordance with Article 523, §1, last<br />
paragraph of the Companies Code and the<br />
remaining directors continued the meeting.<br />
Deliberation<br />
The board discussed the proposal set out<br />
above. It was found that a scaling-down of<br />
the role of Gil Beyen BVBA, represented by<br />
Gil Beyen, to a half-time role, would not be<br />
detrimental to the Company because the<br />
Company can continue to rely on its services<br />
in the fields listed above. Since Gil Beyen<br />
BVBA’s daily fixed fee will remain unchanged,<br />
the proposed scaling-down of the role of Gil<br />
Beyen BVBA will not have any patrimonial<br />
consequences for the Company other than<br />
the fact that the number of days of service<br />
to be provided by Gil Beyen BVBA (and thus<br />
also the total fee) will be reduced.<br />
Resolutions<br />
The board of directors RESOLVED to :<br />
- approve the scaling-down of the<br />
commitments of Gil Beyen BVBA,<br />
represented by Gil Beyen, vis-à-vis the<br />
Company by half the number of days, and<br />
to change the consultancy agreement with<br />
Gil Beyen BVBA accordingly;<br />
- maintain Gil Beyen BVBA’s daily fixed fee as<br />
currently applicable;<br />
- maintain the termination clause as<br />
provided in the current consultancy<br />
agreement between the Company and<br />
Gil Beyen BVBA (it being understood that<br />
the basis for calculating any termination<br />
fees will reduce in the same proportion as<br />
the number of days per year that Gil Beyen<br />
BVBA will deliver services to the Company);<br />
