Dividend policy

The Company has not distributed any dividends since its inception in late November 1996. It is not the Company’s intention to propose such a distribution to shareholders in the near future.

Financial service

As a result, the Company has so far not appointed any Belgian bank to provide a financial service to retail investors with regard to the Company’s shares.
