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 />
