The Management Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting pass an advisory vote on the remuneration policy for the members

Resolution 14 - Reappointment of Auditor
The Management Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting appoint the auditing firm Ernst & Young as independent auditor
(réviseur d’entreprises agréé) to perform the independent audit of the Company regarding the financial year ending 31 December
2024.
Resolution 15 - Presentation of and advisory vote on the remuneration report for the financial year ended 31 December 2023
for the members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board
The Management Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting pass an advisory vote on the remuneration report for the members
of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board for the financial year ended 31 December 2023.
Resolution 16 - Presentation of and advisory vote on the revised remuneration policy for the members of the Management Board
and the Supervisory Board
The Management Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting pass an advisory vote on the remuneration policy for the members
of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board.
The Company has revised its remuneration policy for the Management Board and the Supervisory Board, as previously approved
by the shareholders on 14 June 2023, and submits it to an advisory vote of the Annual General Meeting as required by Article
7bis of the Luxembourg law of 24 May 2011 on shareholders rights and which became effective on 24 August 2019, as amended
(the “
Shareholders Rights Law
”).
The proposed changes relate to the more explicit inclusion of share options and performance options in the remuneration policy
as long-term incentive instruments that may be awarded to Management Board Members as alternatives to the restricted stock
unit and performance stock unit instruments. The explicit inclusion of share options and performance options have no additional
cost to the Company. All other material terms of the remuneration policy remain the same, including in relation to the ratio
mix between fixed and variable components, financial and non-financial performance criteria, and vesting schedules. Further,
some minor administrative edits have been included to remove outdated references.

Eligibility to participate in the Annual General Meeting is determined exclusively by share ownership on the Record Date.
Any transferee having become owner of any shares after the Record Date has no right to vote at the Annual General Meeting.
Therefore, any shareholder who holds one or more shares of the Company on the Record Date, registers for the Annual General
Meeting (where applicable) and provides the Certificate of Holdings, shall be admitted to participate and vote at the Annual
General Meeting, in person, by proxy or by way of written vote.
| 4.2. |

(regardless the manner they wish to participate, either in person or by representation through proxy or voting by post) shall
provide proof of their shareholding on the Record Date. Proof of shareholding being a prerequisite for a shareholder to participate

Company as their proxy holder, please note that the proxy holder will need to provide a new Voting Form in the name and on
behalf of the shareholder by 18:00 CEST on 7 June 2024.
| 4.5. |

|

Meeting.
Shareholders wishing to submit questions in advance of the Annual General Meeting, must submit their questions, along with

The submitted questions will be answered at the reasonable discretion of the Company and the Company is not required to answer

Resolution 15 – Reappointment of Auditor
The Management Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting appoint the auditing firm Ernst & Young as independent auditor
(réviseur d’entreprises agréé) to perform the independent audit of the Company regarding the financial year ending 31 December
2023.
Resolution 16 - Presentation of and advisory vote on the remuneration report for the financial year ended 31 December 2022
for the members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board
The Management Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting pass an advisory vote on the remuneration report for the members
of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board for the financial year ended 31 December 2022.
Resolution 17 - Presentation of and advisory vote on the revised remuneration policy for the members of the Management Board
and the Supervisory Board
The Management Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting pass an advisory vote on the remuneration policy for the members
of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board.
The Company has revised its remuneration policy for the Management Board and the Supervisory Board, as previously approved
by the shareholders on 15 June 2022, and submits it to an advisory vote of the Annual General Meeting as required by Article
7bis of the Luxembourg law of 1 August 2019 amending the Luxembourg law of 24 May 2011 on shareholders rights and which became
effective on 24 August 2019 (the “
Shareholders Rights Law
”).
The proposed changes relate to an adjustment to the short term incentive plan of the Management Board members, with the on-target
performance to be adjusted from 60% to 75% of base salary, resulting in the maximum payout opportunity of 90% to 115% of base
salary based on the achievement of the short term incentive plan metrics and targets for each of the Management Board members.
The proposed changes also include adjustments to the ratio mix of the remuneration components (fixed vs. variable and STI
vs LTI). Further, the proposed changes include some minor factual updates to bring the Remuneration Policy in line with the
Company’s Declaration of Compliance with the German Corporate Governance Code and removal of legacy references which have
ceased to be applicable. Lastly, more general technical updates are also included, such as clarifications around the use of
Restricted Stock Units, and the Supervisory Board’s ability to establish different performance metrics for the Management Board members for the variable compensation.

Resolution 19 – Restatement and renewal of the authorised capital of the Company, waiver of the preferential subscription
right of existing shareholders where expressly provided in the special report of the Management Board dated 1 May 2023 and
amendment of articles 6.1 and 6.2 of the articles of association of the Company
The Management Board proposes that the Annual General meeting acknowledges the special report of the management board dated
1 May 2023 and approves a restatement and renewal of the authorised capital of the Company, authorising the Management Board
to issue up to 215,642,339 common shares without reserving a preferential subscription right to the existing shareholders
of the Company.
The Management Board has utilised some, but not all, of the previously authorised capital in the best interests of the Company
and its shareholders and now wishes to restate and renew the Company’s authorised capital for a period of five (5) years from
the date of the Annual General Meeting. There is no numerical increase in the authorised capital of the Company in relation
to this renewal and restatement.
The Management Board would like to draw attention to the importance of the Company being able to act quickly and have flexibility
in increasing the share capital of the Company, according to the needs of the Company. The protracted procedure of convening
an extraordinary general meeting in order to offer shares to shareholders on a pre-emptive basis, as well as the resulting
publicity and costs involved in convening such an extraordinary general meeting, may be incompatible with the Company’s needs
and could result in missed opportunities for the Company.
As a result of the above, the Management Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting approve a renewal and restatement
of the Company's authorised capital, which, excluding the issued share capital, is set at two million one hundred fifty-six
thousand four hundred twenty-three euro and thirty-nine cents (EUR 2,156,423.39) represented by two hundred fifteen million
six hundred forty-two thousand three hundred thirty-nine (215,642,339) common shares having a nominal value of one cent (EUR
0.01) each, with the authorised capital lasting for a period of five (5) years from the date of the Annual General Meeting
with the possibility to issue up to one hundred nineteen million two hundred fifty-seven thousand three hundred thirty-nine
(119,257,339) shares new common shares without reserving a preferential right to subscribe to the shares issued for the existing
shareholders subject to the limitations set forth in the special report of the management board dated 1 May 2023 as may be
amended from time to time and it being understood, that any issuance of such instruments will reduce the available authorised
capital accordingly.
The Management Board also notes that the authorised capital allows the Management Board to issue new common shares without
reserving a preferential subscription rights to the shareholders to, among other things, convert or grant the right to convert
any present or future convertible instruments, including the 3,750 convertible bonds issued by the Company in March 2021 (to
the extent that such convertible bonds are outstanding), into shares issued by the Company, satisfy the Company’s obligations
under its management incentive plans and to use the authorised capital for general corporate purposes, including but not limited
to, raising funds required to meet the Company’s financing and refinancing needs without delay and seizing opportunities in
potential merger & acquisition transactions by enabling the Company to acquire shares and other assets on the best possible
terms at short notice. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the current intention of the Management Board
is to use the restated and renewed authorised capital for the purposes of satisfying future management incentive schemes.
The authorised capital shall apply to rights, options, warrants, convertible instruments and other securities, restricted
stock units, or other equity-based awards or rights to subscribe to or receive shares issued prior to the date of the Annual
General Meeting as well as apply, to the extent not used yet, to rights issued thereupon and in the future, notably under
any existing or future management incentive scheme or other contractual documentation entered into by the Company.
Finally, as a consequence of the above, articles 6.1 and 6.2 of the Company’s articles of association shall be amended and
shall read as follows:
“6.1 The Company's authorised capital, excluding the issued share capital, is set at two million one hundred fifty-six thousand
four hundred twenty-three euros and thirty-nine cents (EUR 2,156,423.39) represented by two hundred fifteen million six hundred
forty-two thousand three hundred thirty nine (215,642,339) common shares having a nominal value of one cent (EUR 0.01) each.
6.2 During a period of five (5) years from the date of any resolutions to create, renew or increase the authorised capital
pursuant to this article, the management board with the consent of the supervisory board, is hereby authorised to issue common
shares, rights, options, warrants, convertible instruments and other securities, restricted stock units, or other equity-based
awards or rights to subscribe to or receive shares or grant rights to convert instruments into shares (whether on a regulated
or unregulated market), for contributions in cash and/or in kind or via a conversion of existing reserves, within the limits
of the authorised capital to such persons and on such terms as set forth in the special report of the management board dated
1 May 2023 as may be amended from time to time on the authorised capital and specifically to proceed with the issue of up
to one hundred nineteen million two hundred fifty-seven thousand three hundred thirty-nine (119,257,339) common shares without
reserving a preferential right to subscribe to the shares issued for the existing shareholders subject to the limitations
set forth in the special report of the management board dated 1 May 2023 as may be amended from time to time and it being
understood, that any issuance of such instruments will reduce the available authorised capital accordingly.”
