30 January 2026
All operations related to the share consolidation will take place at Euronext Brussels.
Treatment of multiples of 1,000: Shareholders holding a number of old shares forming a multiple of 1,000 have no steps or formalities to complete. These shares will be automatically consolidated by their financial intermediary at a ratio of one (1) new share for one thousand (1,000) old shares.
Management of Fractional Shares: Shareholders who do not hold a number of old shares forming a multiple of 1,000 can buy or sell shares on the market to obtain this multiple up until January 19, 2026.
After January 19, 2026, the financial intermediaries and ABN AMRO Bank NV in cooperation with Euroclear Belgium will facilitate the sale of new shares formed by the fractional shares to compensate shareholders who do not hold a number of shares forming a multiple of 1,000. Alongside any other potential buyers, Van Zele Holding will be in the market to buy fractional shares sold.
The funds thus collected, minus any brokerage fees, will be distributed by ABN AMRO and the financial intermediaries pro rata to the shareholders based on the number of old shares previously held provided that the net proceeds to be received by a shareholder for their position with a financial intermediary is at least equivalent to one euro cent (EUR 0.01).
Shareholders who do not have the required amount to obtain new shares and whose fractional shares amount is less than one euro cent (EUR 0.01) will not receive either shares or fractional shares in cash.
Shareholders will receive cash compensation corresponding to the fractional shares they held in proportion to the net proceeds from the sale of the fractional shares that have been sold, provided that the net proceeds are not less than one euro cent (EUR 0.01).
Delisting: Non-consolidated shares at the end of the consolidation period will be delisted.
Centralization: All operations related to the share consolidation will be done by ABN AMRO Bank NV in cooperation with Euroclear Belgium.
