Directors Meetings attended/Total number of meetings Philippe Delaunois 6/6 Renaud Bentégeat 6/6 Dirk Boogmans 6/6 Richard Francioli (co-opted on September 13) 2/3 Bernard Huvelin 3/6 Christian Labeyrie 1/6 Baron Philippson 5/6 Philippe Ratynski (resigned June 14) 0/3 NV Drie Koningen R.V.O., represented by Chevalier van Outryve d’Ydewalle The decision making process at the Board of Directors Except in cases of force majeure resulting from wars, uprisings or other public disturbances, the Board of Directors can only legitimately deliberate if at least half of the Directors are present or otherwise represented. Board members who are unable to attend a meeting may be represented by another board member. In accordance with legal and regulatory provisions, each member can only have one proxy vote. Letters, telegrams, telexes, faxes or e-mail message conveying the proxy vote are attached to the minutes of the board meet- ing at which they were used. If so decided by the president of the board, meetings may be attended by all or some of the Directors via audio or video conferencing. The Directors in question are then deemed to be present for purposes of calculating quorum and majority. The company secretary takes the measures needed to organize any such audio or video conference. Resolutions are passed by majority vote of the members who are present or represented. In the event that board members need to abstain from taking part in deliberations, as the result of legal considerations, the resolutions in question will be passed by majority vote of the other members who are present or represented. If votes are evenly distributed, the president of the Board of Directors will cast the deciding vote. After each meeting, the deliberations are recorded in minutes signed by the president of the Board of Directors and by a majority of the board members who took part in the deliberations. The minutes summarize the discussions, specify the decisions taken and, if applicable, any reservations made by the board members. They are recorded in a special register kept at the company’s head office. 5/6 8 7
