**Copies of materials related to the AGM, including this Notice of Meeting, the Agenda and Explanatory Notes are available:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **at: <u>www.edocumentview.com/NBIS</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **on our website at** <u>https://group.nebius.com/governance/for-shareholders</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **at the Company's offices (Schiphol Boulevard 165, 1118 BG Schiphol, the Netherlands)** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **from Investor Relations: <u>askIR@nebius.com</u>** 

The Company's statutory accounts (which are prepared in accordance with IFRS solely to comply with Dutch law) are available for inspection by shareholders at the Company's offices at the above address; copies may be requested from Investor Relations.

On July 24, 2025, the total number of Class A Shares outstanding (excluding shares held in treasury) was 203,009,866 with a total of 203,009,866 voting rights (excluding 123,332,404 Class A shares held in treasury); and the total number of Class B Shares was 35,698,674 with a total of 356,986,740 voting rights. Each Class A Share carries one vote; and each Class B Share carries ten votes. The Class A Shares and Class B Shares will vote together as a single class on all matters at the AGM.

The persons who will be considered as entitled to vote and/or attend the AGM are those persons who on July 24, 2025, after processing of all settlements as of this date (the record date), have these rights and are registered as such in a register designated by the Board. The designated register for the Class A Shares is maintained by the Company's transfer agent and registrar, Computershare Trust Company N.A. The designated register for the Class B Shares is maintained by the Company.

If you would like to attend the AGM and your Class A Shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee, you must bring to the AGM a letter from the nominee confirming your beneficial ownership of such shares. In order to vote your shares at the AGM, you must obtain from the nominee a proxy issued in your name. You must also bring a form of personal identification.

Many brokers are subject to New York Stock Exchange ("**NYSE**") rules. The NYSE rules direct that, if you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" by a broker, the broker, as the record holder of the shares, is required to vote those shares in accordance with your instruction. If you do not give instructions to the broker, the broker will be entitled to vote the shares with respect to "discretionary" items but will not be permitted to vote the shares with respect to "non-discretionary" items (those shares are treated as "broker non-votes").

The election of directors and certain other proposals are not considered discretionary items. This means that brokers who have not been furnished voting instructions from their clients will not be authorized to vote in their discretion for the election of directors or on such other matters. We urge you to provide voting instructions to your broker so that your votes may be counted.

Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether or not you expect to attend the AGM, we hope you will take the time to vote your shares. If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote your Class A Shares over the Internet (at **<u>www.investorvote.com/NBIS</u>**), by telephone (at +1-800-652-8683) or by completing and mailing the enclosed Power of Attorney / Proxy card in the envelope provided. If your shares are held in "street name", meaning they are held for your account by a broker or other nominee, you will receive instructions from the broker that you must follow for your shares to be voted.

Shareholders and interested parties may contact any of the Company's directors, including the Chairman, the non-executive directors as a group, the chair of any committee of the Board of Directors or any committee of the Board by writing them via e-mail at <u>askIR@nebius.com</u>. Shareholders who are eligible and intend to have an item added to the agenda of any future general meeting must comply with the requirements contained in Article 18 of our Articles of Association, as amended. We reserve the right (subject to the laws of the Netherlands) to reject, rule out of order or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal or nomination that does not comply with these and other applicable requirements.

**<u>Explanatory Notes to the Agenda</u>**

**Opening**

Management will look back on 2024 and the first half of 2025.

**Extension of Draw-Up Period; Approval of 2024 Statutory Accounts; Discharge of Directors**

***Items 1-3. Approval to extend the term for the preparation of the 2024 annual statutory accounts; Adoption of 2024 annual statutory accounts; Discharge of the members of the Board of Directors for their liability towards the Company for their management during the 2024 financial year***

These agenda items include proposals to extend the preparation period to draw up the 2024 Statutory Accounts and to adopt the 2024 Statutory Accounts, as well as to discharge the members of the Board of Directors serving during 2024, in accordance with Dutch law, from liability towards the Company for the performance of their duties in 2024. The General Meeting notes that the 2024 Statutory Accounts were finalized on July 14, 2025. The Company filed its consolidated financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as part of its Annual Report on Form 20-F on April 30, 2025.

The proposed discharge of the members of the Board of Directors only covers matters that are provided to the General Meeting or otherwise disclosed or publicly available in respect of the 2024 financial year. Copies of the 2024 Statutory Accounts are available for inspection by shareholders at the registered office of the Company and can also be obtained from Investor Relations: <u>askIR@nebius.com</u>.

**Appointment of Executive and Non-Executive Directors**

Under our articles of association, both executive and non-executive directors may be elected for terms of up to four years. Beginning with the Annual General Meeting in 2024, it is our practice to propose that both executive and non-executive directors be elected for one-year terms.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things, recommending to the Board of Directors persons to be nominated for election or re-election as directors at any General Meeting. We believe that the proposed candidates for election are well placed to guide Nebius Group in its development, bringing a wealth of experience in technology, artificial intelligence, ed-tech and governance.

The works council of the Company has been asked to render its views on the intended appointment of the directors, such within the meaning of Section 2:134a of the Dutch Civil Code, and thanks the Board of Directors for the opportunity to share its views. The works council has taken due note of the intended appointments and wishes the nominee directors the best of luck in their roles.

**Appointment of Auditors**

***Item 14. Appointment of the external auditor of the Company***

In accordance with Dutch law, the external auditor of the Company is appointed by the AGM. The Audit Committee has advised the Board of Directors to propose at the AGM the appointment of Reanda Audit & Assurance B.V., an independent registered public accounting firm, as auditor of the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and its statutory accounts prepared under IFRS, for the 2025 financial year.

**General Designations and Authorizations of the Board of Directors**

***Items 15-17. General authorization of the Board of Directors to (i) issue Class A Shares / grant rights to subscribe for Class A Shares; (ii) exclude pre-emption rights; and (iii) repurchase Class A Shares***

The proposals to authorize the Board of Directors (i) to issue Class A Shares (and/or grant rights to subscribe for Class A Shares) in an amount up to 20% of the issued share capital (excluding Class C Shares) from time to time of the Company, and (ii) to exclude the pre-emptive rights of shareholders in respect of such issuances of shares and/or granting of rights to subscribe for shares are intended to give the Board of Directors flexibility in financing the Company in the most efficient manner. Furthermore, such authorizations give the Board of Directors flexibility in the context of potential acquisitions and mergers.

The proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to repurchase shares in the capital of the Company, up to a maximum of 20% of the issued share capital from time to time, in the case of Class A shares, against a purchase price equal to the market price on the Nasdaq Global Select Market of the Class A shares at the time of repurchase, is intended to, among other things, enable the Company to flexibly manage its capital structure in light of market conditions and the Company's financial position.

Adoption of these proposals at the AGM replaces the current general authorizations of the Board of Directors in respect of these matters, which were granted at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on August 15, 2024.

**Cancellation of Treasury Shares**

***Items 18. Cancellation of Class A shares held in treasury***

The Company acquired a significant number of its own Class A shares in connection with the divestment transaction completed in 2024, and currently continues to hold 123,932,112 Class A shares in treasury. The Company has allocated a portion of such shares for use under its equity incentive plan and upon the potential conversion of its convertible notes due 2029 and 2031, and may use a portion of the remaining shares for other financing or corporate purposes. The Board has concluded that it would be prudent to cancel a portion of such remaining shares, and accordingly proposes the cancellation of 40,000,000 Class A shares. In accordance with Dutch law, the cancellation of 40,000,000 Class A shares will not be effective until two months after the resolution to cancel such treasury shares has been filed with the Dutch Trade Register and announced in a Dutch national daily newspaper. Once this procedure is complete, such treasury shares will be cancelled.

**Board of Directors Recommendations**

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote "**FOR**" of all of the foregoing proposals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. The register of Shareholders shall be updated at regular times.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to keep a part of the register of Shareholders outside the Netherlands
if such is required for the compliance with foreign legalization or the rules and regulations of the stock exchange at which the
Shares are listed.

**<u>Issue of Shares.</u>**

<u>Article 7.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Upon receipt of a written proposal of the Board of Directors to this effect, the General Meeting has the
power to resolve to issue Shares and to determine the price of issue and the other terms of issue, which terms may include payment on
Shares in a foreign currency. Upon receipt of a written proposal of the Board of Directors to this effect the General Meeting may transfer
its aforesaid power to the Board of Directors for a period not exceeding five (5) years. Such designation shall specify the number
of Shares that may be issued and may also include the price (range) at which such Shares may be issued. The designation may be extended,
from time to time, for periods not exceeding five (5) years. Unless such designation provides otherwise, it may not be withdrawn.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Within eight (8) days following a resolution by the General Meeting to issue Shares or to designate
another body of the Company, the Company shall file the full text of such resolution at the office of the Commercial Register with which
the Company is registered. Within eight (8) days after each issue of Shares, the Company shall report the same to the office of said
Commercial Register.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. The provisions of paragraph 1 and 2 of this Article shall apply mutatis mutandis to the granting
of rights to subscribe for Shares, but not to the issue of Shares to a person exercising a previously acquired right to subscribe for
Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. The Company or its Subsidiaries cannot subscribe for Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. When Shares are subscribed for, the amount of their par value must be paid at the same time and, in addition,
if the Share is subscribed at a higher amount, the difference between such amounts must be paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. Calls upon the Shareholders in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares shall be made by the Board
of Directors by virtue of a resolution of the General Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. The body of the Company which has the power to resolve to issue Shares may resolve that payment on Shares
shall be made by some other means than payment in cash or by payments in a foreign (non-euro) currency.

**<u>Pre-emptive right at issue of Shares.</u>**

<u>Article 8.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. At the issue of any new Class A Ordinary Shares and/or Class B Ordinary Shares, the statutory
rights of pre-emption as laid down in Book 2 shall apply. No pre-emption rights shall apply in respect of the issue of the Class C
Ordinary Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Upon receipt of a written proposal of the Board of Directors to this effect, the General Meeting may each
time in respect of one particular issue of Class A Ordinary Shares and/or Class B Ordinary Shares, resolve to limit or to exclude
the pre-emptive right of subscription for the Class A Ordinary Shares and/or Class B Ordinary Shares, provided that such resolution
is passed at the same time as the resolution to issue the Class A Ordinary Shares and/or Class B Ordinary Shares.

If at a General Meeting at which a proposal to limit or exclude the pre-emptive right to subscribe for Class A Ordinary Shares and/or Class B Ordinary Shares comes up for discussion and less than one half of the issued capital is represented, a resolution to limit or exclude the pre-emptive right may only be adopted by at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast.

Any proposal to limit or exclude the pre-emptive right must contain a written explanation of the reasons for the proposal and the choice of the proposed price (or price range or formula for the determination of such price, including by reference to the market price of such Class A Ordinary Shares and/or Class B Ordinary Shares as of a future date or dates) of issue.

Upon receipt of a written proposal of the Board of Directors to this effect, the General Meeting can resolve that the pre-emptive right may also be limited or excluded by the Board of Directors, for a period not exceeding five (5) years.

Such designation may be renewed for subsequent periods not exceeding five (5) years each. Unless the terms of the designation provide otherwise, it cannot be revoked.

Within eight (8) days following a resolution by the General Meeting to limit or exclude the pre-emptive right or to designate the Board of Directors, the Company shall file the full text of such resolution at the office of the Commercial Register.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. A share issue at which Shareholders may exercise a pre-emptive right and the period during which said
right is to be exercised shall be announced by the Company to all Shareholders of the relevant class of Shares either in writing or by
a public announcement in a newspaper taking into account the rules and regulations of the stock exchange at which Shares are listed.
The pre-emptive right may be exercised during the period to be determined by the body of the Company authorised to issue Shares, that
period to be at least two (2) weeks from the day following the date of despatch of the announcement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. The provisions of the preceding paragraphs of this Article shall apply *mutatis mutandis* to
the granting of rights to take Shares.

**<u>Transfer of Shares. Exercise of Shareholder's rights.</u>**

<u>Article 9.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. If Shares are admitted to trading on a regulated market or multilateral trading facility, as referred
to in article 1:1 of the Financial Supervision Act (*Wet op het financieel toezicht*) or a system of a non-EU/EEA member state that
is comparable to a regulated market or multilateral trading facility (including, for purposes hereof, The Nasdaq Global Select Market),
the Transfer of a registered Share or of a limited right (*beperkt recht*) thereto shall require an instrument intended for such
purpose and, save when the Company itself is a party to such legal act, the written acknowledgement by the Company of the Transfer. The
acknowledgement shall be made in the instrument or by a dated statement on the instrument or on a copy or extract thereof mentioning the
acknowledgement signed as a true copy thereof by a civil-law notary or the transferor. Service of such instrument of transfer, copy or
extract on the Company shall be deemed to constitute such acknowledgement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Following a Transfer referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, the rights attached to the Shares concerned
may not be exercised until the instrument of transfer has been served upon the Company or until the Company has acknowledged the transaction
in writing or has been deemed to have acknowledged such transaction. The provision in the preceding sentence shall not apply if the Company
itself has been a party to the transaction.

**<u>Acquisition by the Company of its own Shares.</u>**

<u>Article 10.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Any acquisition by the Company of partly-paid Shares shall be null and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Provided that the General Meeting has given the Board of Directors authorisation for this purpose, the
Company may acquire fully paid-up Shares provided that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. the Company's equity capital, reduced by the acquisition price, is not less than the sum of the
issued and paid-up capital and the reserves to be maintained pursuant to the law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. following the transaction contemplated, at least one issued Share remains outstanding and is not held
by the Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. in case the Company is admitted to trading on a regulated market or multilateral trading facility, as
referred to in article 1:1 of the Financial Supervision Act (*Wet op het financieel toezicht*) or a system from a non-EU/EEA member
state that is comparable to a regulated market or multilateral trading facility (including, for purposes hereof, The Nasdaq Global Select
Market), the par value of the Shares to be acquired, already held by the Company or already encumbered for the benefit of the Company
as pledgee or which are held by (or encumbered for the benefit of) Subsidiaries, does not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the issued capital
of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. The factor deciding whether the acquisition is valid shall be the amount of the equity of the Company
as shown in its most recently adopted balance sheet, reduced by the acquisition price of Shares and any payments from profit or reserves
to others which may have become due by the Company and its Subsidiaries after the balance sheet date.

If more than six (6) months of a financial year have passed without the annual accounts having been adopted, the acquisition of own Shares under paragraph 2 of this Article shall not be permitted until such time as such most recent annual accounts have been so adopted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. The authorisation of the General Meeting, referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article, which shall be valid
for a maximum of eighteen (18) months only, must specify how many Shares are permitted to be acquired, the manner in which they may be
acquired and the permitted upper and lower limits of the price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. The preceding paragraphs of this Article shall not apply in respect of (i) Shares which the
Company may acquire gratuitously or by universal succession and (ii) Shares that are listed at a stock exchange which are acquired
for the purpose of distribution of such Shares to employees of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries pursuant to an employee option plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. Any acquisition of Shares by the Company made in breach of the provisions of paragraph 2 of this Article shall
be null and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. Shares owned by the Company shall not bear any dividend rights unless rights of usufruct are created,
for the benefit of a usufructuary other than the Company or its Subsidiaries, in respect of such Shares prior to the acquisition by the
Company, in which case the holder of usufruct shall be entitled to any dividends on the underlying Shares. Shares owned by the Company
or its Subsidiaries shall not bear any voting rights unless the voting rights are transferred to a usufructuary or pledgee pursuant to
a right of usufruct or a right of pledge that was created, for the benefit of a usufructuary or pledgee other than the Company or its
Subsidiaries, in respect of Class A Ordinary Shares prior to the acquisition of such Class A Ordinary Shares by the Company
or its Subsidiaries respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. Shares owned by the Company may only be Transferred for the purpose of the distribution of such Shares
pursuant to an equity incentive plan or, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, for the purpose of the Transfer of such Shares
to third parties fulfilling a contractual obligation of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. If at any time a Share previously owned by the Company is held by a person (a "**Non-Qualified Person** ")
in conflict with the previous paragraph, such Non-Qualified Person shall, without prejudice to the stipulations of paragraph 12 of this
Article, not be entitled to any dividend and/or voting rights attached to the Shares held by such Non-Qualified Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. If at any time a Share previously owned by the Company is held by a Non-Qualified Person, such Non-Qualified
Person (the "**Transferor**") shall notify the Company of this fact by written notice (the "**Notice**") within
three (3) days after the occurrence of the event pursuant to which the Transferor is obliged to serve the Notice. At the time of
the Notice the relevant Non-Qualified Person is obliged to offer his Shares to the Company for a consideration equal to the nominal value
of the relevant Shares (the "**Offer** ").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. If the Transferor fails to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. give the Notice and or make the Offer within the term provided in this Article;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. Transfer the relevant Shares to the Company within three (3) days of the Notice,

the Company is irrevocably empowered and authorised to offer and Transfer the relevant Shares to itself.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. If the Company fails to accept the offered Shares from the Transferor within three (3) months after
receipt of the Offer, then the Transferor's dividend and voting rights attached to his Shares shall revive.

**<u>Reduction of capital.</u>**

<u>Article 11.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Upon receipt of a written proposal of the Board of Directors to this effect, the General Meeting may resolve
to reduce the issued capital by a cancellation of Shares or by a reduction of the par value of the Shares by amendment of the Articles
of Association. Such resolution to reduce the issued capital of the Company must indicate the Shares to which it relates and provisions
for its implementation must be included.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. A resolution to cancel Shares may only relate to i) Shares held by the Company, or ii) to all the Shares
of a particular class, in respect of which the Articles of Association provide that the same may be cancelled against repayment of their
par value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. As provided in clause (ii) of paragraph 2 of this Article 11, Class C Ordinary Shares may
be cancelled against repayment of their par value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. If the General Meeting resolves to reduce the par value of the Shares by amendment of the Articles of
Association - regardless whether this is done without redemption or against partial repayment on the Shares or upon release from the obligation
to pay up the Shares - such reduction must be made pro rata on all Shares of a particular class.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. A resolution for reduction of capital shall require a majority of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes
cast, if less than one half of the issued capital is represented at the relevant General Meeting.

**<u>BOARD OF DIRECTORS.</u>**

**<u>Composition and Remuneration.</u>**

<u>Article 12.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by a Board of Directors consisting of one (1) or
more Executive Directors and three (3) or more Non-Executive Directors. A majority of the members of the Board of Directors shall
consist of Non-Executive Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Only individuals shall be eligible for appointment as Executive Director or Non-Executive Director. No
person shall be eligible for appointment or re-appointment as a Non-Executive Director, if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. such person is currently, or within two (2) years prior to appointment has been, a political appointee,
a member of a governing body of a political party, a government official, a member or employee of any state apparatus, a member of parliament,
or a political office-holder, in each case in respect of any country in the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. such person is currently, or within two (2) years prior to appointment has been, an employee of a
company that is majority owned or controlled by any government (or any division thereof).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. such person has any criminal record (other than minor offences not constituting felonies or crimes of
moral turpitude).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. such person is a person with whom the Company or its Board of Directors is prohibited by any applicable
national or supra-national law or regulation from having any dealings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e. such person has, or within two (2) years has had, a personal or qualified conflict of interest with
the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f. as a result of the appointment of such person, the Board of Directors would fail to include at least a
simple majority of members who satisfy the Independence Criteria.

If a person is not eligible for appointment or re-appointment as a Non-Executive Director for any reason set out in sub (a) up to including (f) of this paragraph, the Board of Directors may decide by simple majority that such person is still eligible for appointment or re-appointment by waiving such criteria (an "**Eligibility Waiver**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. In the event that any duly appointed Director subsequently ceases to satisfy the criteria set forth in
paragraph 2 above, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors acting by simple majority, or the Board of Directors acting by simple
majority revokes its Eligibility Waiver in respect of such Director, he or she shall be deemed to have automatically resigned from the
Board of Directors, effective thirty (30) days following the date notice of such determination or revocation, as the case may be, has
been provided by the Board of Directors to such Director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the duly appointed Director ceases to satisfy
the criteria set forth in paragraph 2(e) as a result of the Company expanding its business or entering into a new line of business,
such Director shall be deemed to continue to satisfy such criteria until the next annual General Meeting (or, if such conflict arises
less than six (6) months prior to the next annual General Meeting, until the next succeeding annual General Meeting). For purposes
of the preceding sentence, the consolidated revenues threshold set forth in paragraph 2(d) above shall be five percent (5%), rather
than one percent (1%).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Subject to paragraph 5 of this Article, the Executive Directors and the Non-Executive Directors shall
be appointed by the General Meeting for a maximum period of one (1) year, provided however, that, unless such Director has resigned
at an earlier date, a Director shall cease to hold office on the date of the first General Meeting held in the first year following the
year in which he was appointed Director. Directors shall be immediately eligible for re-appointment at the General Meeting at which they
cease to hold office.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. The Board of Directors shall make a non-binding nomination in respect of any Director to be appointed
by the General Meeting. If the person nominated by the Board of Directors is subsequently not appointed by the General Meeting, the Board
of Directors will be allowed to make a new non-binding nomination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. The Board of Directors shall have the power to appoint from its Executive Directors a Chief Executive
Officer by a simple majority (whereby for this purpose the majority is calculated as if the member of the Board of Directors who is object
of appointment or removal as CEO would not be in office).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. The Board of Directors shall have the power to appoint from its Non-Executive Directors a Chairman.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. The General Meeting shall adopt general guidelines in respect of the remuneration of the members of the
Board of Directors and of the person(s) referred to in paragraph 3 of Article 13 (the "**Remuneration Policy** ").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. With due observation to the Remuneration Policy, the Board of Directors may establish a remuneration for
the members of the Board of Directors in respect of the performance of their duties. It being understood that, in accordance with the
principle laid down in Article 13 paragraph 5, Executive Directors shall not participate in the decision making process relating
to the remuneration of Executive Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. Directors may be suspended and/or removed from office by the General Meeting at any time, such resolution
requiring a majority of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast in a meeting, such two-thirds (2/3) majority representing at least
fifty percent (50%) of the issued and outstanding capital of the Company. The Director concerned shall be given the opportunity to account
for his conduct at the General Meeting. For that purpose he may have himself assisted by a legal adviser.

**<u>Decision-making by the Board of Directors. Directors' ceasing to hold office or being unable to act.</u>**

<u>Article 13.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Resolutions of the Board of Directors taken at a meeting are adopted with a simple majority of the votes
cast. Each Director shall have one vote. If the voting for and against a proposal is equally divided, another vote shall be taken if so
demanded by any Director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. The Board of Directors shall draw up board rules to deal with matters that concern the Board of Directors
internally and the division of duties within the Board of Directors and its committees; the adoption and amendment of such internal rules shall
require the approval of the Board of Directors.

The rules of the Board of Directors may *inter alia* include an allocation of tasks among the members of the Board of Directors and shall contain provisions concerning the matter in which meetings of the Board of Directors are called and held. The rules of the Board of Directors may stipulate that certain resolutions of the Board of Directors may validly be passed by one or more Directors, provided that the relevant resolutions are within the scope of the task(s) allocated to this or these particular Director(s).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. In the event that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) one or more Executive Directors has ceased to hold office (*ontstentenis*) or is unable to execute
his/her duties and responsibilities (*belet*), the other Executive Directors or the sole remaining Executive Director shall be temporarily
charged with the role of the Executive Director who is absent or unable to execute his/her duties, without prejudice to the Board of Directors'
right to temporarily designate a person to perform the role of the Executive Director who is absent or unable to execute his/her duties;
or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) all Executive Directors or the sole Executive Director shall have ceased to hold office or be unable to
execute their duties and responsibilities and no substitute Executive Directors have been appointed, the Executive Director role in the
management of the Company shall be temporarily entrusted to the person designated or to be designated for that purpose by the Board of
Directors, during such period of absence until a new Executive Director has been appointed in accordance with Article 12.

In the event that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) one or more Non-Executive Directors has ceased to hold office (*ontstentenis*) or is unable to execute
his/her duties and responsibilities (*belet*), the other Non-Executive Directors or the sole remaining Non-Executive Director shall
be temporarily charged with the role of the Non-Executive Director who is absent or unable to execute his/her duties; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) all Non-Executive Directors shall have ceased to hold office or are unable to execute their duties and
responsibilities and no substitute Non-Executive Directors have been appointed, the Non-Executive Director role in the management of the
Company shall be temporarily entrusted to the person designated or to be designated for that purpose by the General Meeting, during such
period of absence until a new Non-Executive Director has been appointed in accordance with Article 12.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. Any Director with a conflict of interest in respect of the Company and/or its business shall refrain from
participating in the deliberations and decision making of the Board of Directors in this particular matter. If as a direct result of the
foregoing, no resolution can be adopted by the Board of Directors, such resolution will be put before the General Meeting and subsequently
the General Meeting can resolve on the matter.

<u>Article 14.</u>

Without prejudice to any other applicable provisions of these Articles of Association, decisions of the Board of Directors involving a major change in the Company's identity or character are subject to the approval of the General Meeting, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. the conclusion or cancellation of any long-lasting cooperation by the Company or a Subsidiary with any

**<u>Duties and powers of the Directors.</u>**

<u>Article 15.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. The Board of Directors is in charge of the management of the Company. The duties, powers and authorities
of the Board of Directors are divided between the Executive Director(s) and Non-Executive Directors, whereby the Executive Director(s) will
be responsible for the management of the day to day affairs of the Company and the Non-Executive Directors will be responsible for the
supervision of the execution of the duties and responsibilities of the members of the Board of Directors and of the general course of
affairs of the Company and its business. Subject to the division of duties, powers and authorities set out in the previous sentence, the
Board of Directors may attribute additional duties, powers and authorities to Non-Executive Directors. Any such attribution of duties,

 **<u>Representation.</u>**

<u>Article 16.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. The Board of Directors shall represent the Company. The power to represent the Company shall also vest
in each Executive Director individually.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. If an Executive Director performs any transaction in a private capacity to which transaction the Company
also is a party, or if an Executive Director, acting in his private capacity, conducts any legal action against the Company other than

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. The Board of Directors may grant power of attorney for signature to one or several persons and may alter
or revoke such power of attorney.

**<u>Indemnity and Insurance.</u>**

<u>Article 17.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. To the extent permissible by law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. each member of the Board of Directors, both former members and members currently in office;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. each person who is or was serving as an officer of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. each person who is or was serving as a proxy holder of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. each person who is or was a member of the board or supervisory board or officer of other companies or
corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, trusts or other enterprises by virtue of their functional responsibilities with the Company
and or its Subsidiaries,

(each of them, for the purpose of this Article only, an "indemnified person"), against any and all liabilities, claims, judgments, fines and penalties ("claims") incurred by the indemnified person as a result of any threatened, pending or completed action, investigation or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal or administrative (each, a "legal action"), brought by any party other than the Company itself or any Subsidiaries, in relation to acts or omissions in or related to his capacity as an indemnified person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Claims will include derivative actions brought on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiaries against the
indemnified person and claims by the Company (or any Subsidiaries) itself for reimbursement for claims by third parties on the ground
that the indemnified person was jointly liable toward that third party in addition to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. The indemnified person will not be indemnified with respect to claims insofar as they relate to the gaining
in fact of personal profits, advantages or compensation to which he was not legally entitled, or if the indemnified person shall have
been adjudged to be liable for willful misconduct (*opzet*) or intentional recklessness (*bewuste roekeloosheid*).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Any expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and litigation costs) (collectively, "expenses")
incurred by the indemnified person in connection with any legal action shall be settled or reimbursed by the Company, but only upon receipt
of a written undertaking by that indemnified person that he shall repay such expenses if a competent court in an irrevocable judgment
has determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified. Expenses shall be deemed to include any tax liability which the indemnified
person may be subject to as a result of his indemnification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. Also in case of a legal action against the indemnified person by the Company itself or any Subsidiary/ies,
the Company will settle or reimburse to the indemnified person his reasonable attorneys' fees and litigation costs, but only upon
receipt of a written undertaking by that indemnified person that he shall repay such fees and costs if a competent court in an irrevocable
judgment has resolved the legal action in favor of the Company or the relevant Subsidiary/ies rather than the indemnified person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. Expenses incurred by the indemnified person in connection with any legal action will also be settled or
reimbursed by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, but only upon receipt of a written undertaking by that indemnified
person that he shall repay such expenses if a competent court in an irrevocable judgment has determined that he is not entitled to be
indemnified.

Such expenses incurred by indemnified persons may be so advanced upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors decides.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. The indemnified person shall not admit any personal financial liability vis-à-vis third parties,
nor enter into any settlement agreement, without the Company's prior written authorization.

The Company and the indemnified person shall use all reasonable endeavors to cooperate with a view to agreeing on the defense of any claims, but in the event that the Company and the indemnified person would fail to reach such agreement, the indemnified person shall comply with all reasonable directions given by the Company, in order to be entitled to the indemnity contemplated by this Article.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. The indemnity contemplated by this Article shall not apply to the extent claims and expenses are
reimbursed by insurers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. The Company will provide for and bear the cost of adequate insurance covering claims against the indemnified
person, unless such insurance cannot be obtained at reasonable terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. This Article can be amended without the consent of the indemnified persons as such. However, the
indemnity provided herein shall nevertheless continue to apply to claims and/or expenses incurred in relation to the acts or omissions
by the indemnified person during the periods in which this clause was in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. At its discretion, the Board of Directors may have the Company indemnify other members of the management
team, not being members of the Board of Directors, or other employees, each in case of the Company or of a Subsidiary, comparable to the
indemnification provided herein for the benefit of other indemnified persons.

**<u>GENERAL MEETING.</u>**

**<u>Notice and venue of the General Meeting.</u>**

<u>Article 18.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 25, General Meetings shall be held as frequently as
the Board of Directors may wish. The power to call the General Meeting shall vest in the Board of Directors, in each Executive Director
individually and/or the Chairman.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. The Board of Directors may determine a registration date for the purpose of registration of Shareholders
who can attend the relevant meeting and in order to establish the number of votes to be exercised at such General Meeting. In case the
Board of Directors resolves to set a registration date for a General Meeting, any Shareholder who wishes to attend such General Meeting
must inform the Board of Directors of its intent to attend the General Meeting. At the same time the registration date determines the
number of votes that a Shareholder may cast in the General Meeting. The aforesaid registration date is set on the twenty-eighth (28th)
day prior to the day of the relevant General Meeting. Should the Board of Directors resolve not to set a registration date, then all parties
that can prove to hold Shares on the day of the General Meeting may attend the General Meeting and such Shareholders shall be able exercise
votes on the basis of their Shares held on the day of the General Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. The Board of Directors must call a General Meeting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. if one or several Shareholders jointly representing at least one tenth (1/10) of the issued capital so
request the Board of Directors, that request to specify the subjects to be discussed and voted upon;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. within three (3) months after the Board of Directors has considered it plausible that the equity
capital of the Company has decreased to an amount equal to or less than one-half of the paid and called up part of the capital.

If the General Meeting is not held within six (6) weeks after the request referred to under (a), the applicants themselves may call the General Meeting - with due observance of the applicable provisions of the law and the Articles of Association - provided that the interim provisions judge of the District Court has granted leave to such applicants for the convocation of a General Meeting. The provisions of paragraph 2 of this Article shall apply *mutatis mutandis* to the procedure of calling a General Meeting referred to in the preceding sentence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Any Shareholder(s) who hold at least three one-hundredths (3/100) of the issued capital of the Company
may propose items for the agenda of the General Meeting. Such items for the agenda should together with an explanation be submitted to
the Board of Directors at least sixty (60) days prior to the day of the General Meeting at which it shall be addressed. The Board of Directors
will include such items for the agenda in an equal manner as items on the agenda proposed by the Board of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. Notice of the General Meeting must be given to each Shareholder. The term of notice must be at least fifteen
(15) clear days before the day on which the meeting is held. Notice shall be given by means of letters, specifying the subjects to be
discussed at the meeting. The notice should also contain information on a formal registration date (if applicable) for the registration
of Shareholders who can attend the relevant meeting and in order to establish the number of votes to be exercised at such General Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. General Meetings shall be held in The Hague, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht or at Schiphol Airport in the
municipality of Haarlemmermeer. Entirely without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph 3 of this Article, any resolution passed at
a General Meeting held elsewhere - in or outside the Netherlands - shall be valid only if the requirements of notice set out in paragraph
5 of this Article have been complied with and the entire issued and outstanding share capital is represented. The Board of Directors
may decide that (and under which conditions) the General Meeting shall also be accessible through electronic means. If and when permitted
pursuant to applicable law, the Board of Directors may in addition decide that (and under which conditions) the General Meeting shall
exclusively be accessible through electronic means. In both cases, references in the Articles of Association to attendance at a General
Meeting shall include attendance by electronic means.

**<u>Admittance to and chairmanship of the General Meeting.</u>**

<u>Article 19.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. The Shareholders are entitled to admittance to the General Meeting. The Directors of the Company also
are entitled to admittance, with the exception of any Director who has been suspended, and admittance shall further be granted to any
person whom the chairman of the meeting concerned has invited to attend the General Meeting or any part of that meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. If a Shareholder wishes to attend a General Meeting by proxy, he must issue a written power of attorney
for that purpose, which power of attorney must be presented to the chairman of the meeting concerned.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. The General Meeting shall be presided over by the Chairman. In case the Chairman is not available the
Board of Directors shall appoint the chairman of the General Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Unless a notarial record of the business transacted at the meeting is drawn up, or unless the chairman
of the General Meeting himself wishes to keep minutes of the meeting, the chairman shall designate a person charged with keeping the minutes.

The minutes shall be signed by the chairman of the General Meeting and the secretary of the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. The chairman of the General Meeting decides on all issues regarding admittance to the meeting, voting
and the order of the meeting.

<u>Article 20.</u>

Share carries the right to cast ten (10) votes. Each Class C Ordinary Share carries the right to cast nine (9) votes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. In determining the extent to which the Shareholders cast votes, are present or are represented, or the
extent to which the share capital is represented, the Shares in respect of which no votes may be cast shall not be taken into account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Unless the Articles of Association stipulate a larger majority, all resolutions of the General Meeting
shall be passed by a simple majority of the votes cast.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Blank votes and invalid votes shall not be counted as votes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. Votes on business matters - including proposals concerning the suspension, dismissal or removal of persons
- shall be taken by voice or acclamation, but votes on the election of persons shall be taken by secret ballot, unless the chairman of
the General Meeting decides on a different method of voting and none of the persons present at the meeting object to such different method
of voting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. If at the election of persons the voting for and against the proposal is equally divided, another vote
shall be taken at the same meeting; if then again the votes are equally divided, then - without prejudice to the provision in the following
sentence of this paragraph - such person shall not be elected.

If at an election of persons the vote is taken between more than two candidates and none of the candidates receive the simple majority of votes, another vote - where necessary after an interim vote - shall be taken between the two candidates who have received the largest number of votes in their favor.

If the voting for and against any other proposal than as first referred to in this paragraph is equally divided, that proposal shall be rejected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. The General Meeting may resolve to allow a Shareholder to attend and participate in the General Meeting
by electronic means of communication, if and to the extent the identity of the thus attending Shareholder can be verified by the chairman
of the General Meeting. Electronic votes submitted to the Board of Directors within twenty-eight (28) days of the General Meeting shall
be considered to be issued at the General Meeting, provided the means of communication allows the chairman of the General Meeting to verify
the identity of the voting Shareholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. A Shareholder can be excluded from admittance and participation in a General Meeting when required pursuant
to sanctions legislation applicable to the Company and/or its Shareholders. The Board of Directors is authorised to determine at its own
discretion whether a Shareholder qualifies for such exclusion as referred to in the previous sentence.

**<u>Shareholders' proxy. Shares belonging to any community of property or joint estate.</u>**

<u>Article 21.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. In respect of any or all of his Shares a Shareholder may give one or several persons written power of
attorney to exercise any or all of the rights attached to those Shares. Such power of attorney may not be given in respect of one and
the same Share to more than one person simultaneously. The powers referred to in this paragraph may also vest in usufructuaries and pledgees
of Class A Ordinary Shares. The Board of Directors may invoke certain rules on the registration of proxies as referred to in
this paragraph.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Joint owners of any community of property or joint estate comprising Shares or a limited right to Shares
may only exercise their rights by giving one or several persons written power of attorney to exercise said rights. If power of attorney
is given to several persons, such power of attorney must specify in respect of which number of Shares each proxy is authorised to exercise
the rights attached thereto.

**<u>Decision-making outside a meeting.</u>**

<u>Article 22.</u>

Unless statutory provisions provide otherwise, any resolution which Shareholders entitled to vote can pass at a General Meeting may also be passed by them outside a meeting, provided that they all express themselves in writing in favor of the proposal concerned.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Other than as varied by paragraphs 2 and 3 above, Articles 18 through 22 shall apply, *mutatis mutandis*,

b. the obligation to add to the annual accounts the particulars referred to in Section 392 of Book 2, <br>shall not apply.

If the Company qualifies as a legal entity in the terms of Section 395a sub-section 1, Section 396 sub-section 1 or Section 397 sub-section 1 of Book 2 the Company shall not be required to make an annual report unless by law the Company must establish a works council or unless no later than six (6) months from the start of the financial year concerned the General Meeting has resolved otherwise.
