The distribution of this Information Memorandum and related materials may be restricted by law in certain jurisdictions (see Section 10, Subscribtion and Sale).
Persons into whose possession this Information Memorandum come are required to inform themselves of, and to observe any of these restrictions. In particular
the Bonds have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (as amended or replaced from time to time). Subject to certain
exceptions, the Bonds may not be offered of sold in the United States or to U.S. persons.
This Information Memorandum does not constitute a prospectus within the meaning of article 20 of the Belgian Law of 16 June 2006 on the public offer of
placement instruments and the admission to trading of placement instruments on regulated markets (loi relative aux offres publiques d'instruments de placement
et aux admissions d'instruments de placement à la négociation sur des marchés réglementés/wet op de openbare aanbieding van beleggingsinstrumenten en de
toelating van beleggingsinstrumenten tot de verhandeling op een gereglementeerde markt) (the "Belgian Prospectus Law"), as amended or replaced from time
to time, or of the Directive 2003/71/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 4 November 2003 (the "Prospectus Directive"), as amended or replaced
from time to time.
Neither this Information Memorandum, not any brochure material or document related thereto have been, or will be, submitted or notified to, or
approved by, the Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority (Autorité des services et marches financiers/Autoriteit voor Financiële Diensten en
Markten). In Belgium, the Bond Issue does not constitute a public offering within the meaning of Articles 3, §1, 1° and 6, §3 of the Belgian Law of April
1, 2007 on takeover bids (loi relative aux offers publiques d'acquisition/wet op de openbare overnamebiedingen) (the "Belgian Takeover Law"), as
amended or replaced from time to time.
The offering of the Bonds does not constitute a public offering in Belgium. The offer may not be advertised and the Bonds may not be offered or sold,
and this Information Memorandum or any other offering material relating to the Bonds may not be distributed, directly or indirectly, to any persons
in Belgium other than in those circumstances set out in Article 3, § 2 of the Belgian Prospectus Law.
Application has been made to Euronext Growth for the Bonds to be admitted to trading. Euronext Growth (Alternext Brussels) is not a "regulated market".
References in this Information Memorandum to the Bonds being "listed" (and all related references) shall mean that the Bonds have been admitted to trading on
Euronext Growth.
Euronext Growth is a market operated by Euronext. Companies on Euronext Growth are not subject to the same rules as companies on a regulated
market (a main market). Instead they are subject to a less extensive set of rules and regulations adjusted to small growth companies. The risk in
investing in a company on Euronext Growth may therefore be higher than investing in a company on a regulated market.
The Bonds are issued in dematerialized form in accordance with Article 468 et seq. of the Belgian Companies Code (Wetboek van vennootschappen/Code des
sociétés) (the "Belgian Companies Code") and cannot be physically delivered. The Bonds will be exclusively represented by book entries in the records of the
NBB Securities Settlement System operated by the NBB or any successor thereto (the "NBB Securities Settlement System" or the "NBB-SSS"). The Bonds
can be held by their holders through participants in the NBB Securities Settlement System, including Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and Clearstream
Banking, société anonyme, Luxembourg ("Clearstream"), and through other financial intermediaries which in turn hold the Bonds through Euroclear,
Clearstream or other participants in the NBB Securities Settlement System. Title to the Bonds will pass by account transfer. The Bonds may not be exchanged
for bonds in bearer form.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Unless otherwise stated, capitalized terms used in the Information Memorandum have the meanings set forth in
the Information Memorandum. Where reference is made to the "Conditions of the Bonds" or to the
"Conditions", reference is made to the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds (see Section 3 entitled "Terms and
Conditions of the Bonds").
The Information Memorandum has been prepared in connection with the private placement of the Bonds. The
Issuer is responsible for the information in this Information Memorandum. The Issuer hereby declares that,
having taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case, the information contained, or incorporated by
reference, in this Information Memorandum is, to the best of its knowledge, in accordance with the facts and
contains no omission likely to affect its import.
When potential investors make a decision to invest in the Bonds, they should base this decision on their own
research of the Issuer and the conditions of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, the associated benefits and
risks, as well as the conditions of the offer itself. The investors must themselves assess, with their own advisors if
necessary, whether the Bonds are suitable for them, considering their own income and financial situation. In
case of any doubt about the risk involved in purchasing the Bonds, investors should abstain from investing in the
Bonds. The summaries and descriptions of legal provisions, taxation, accounting principles or comparisons of
such principles, legal company forms or contractual relationships reported in the Information Memorandum
may in no circumstances be interpreted as investment, legal or tax advice for potential investors. Potential
investors are urged to consult their own advisor, bookkeeper, accountant or other advisors concerning the
legal, tax, economic, financial and other aspects associated with the subscription to the Bonds.
Neither the Information Memorandum nor any other information supplied in connection with the admission
to trading of the Bonds (a) is intended to provide the basis of any credit or other evaluation or (b) should be
considered as a recommendation by the Issuer or the Joint Book Runners that any recipient of the
Information Memorandum or any other information supplied in connection with the offering of the Bonds
should purchase any Bonds. Each investor contemplating a purchase of the Bonds should make its own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs, and its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness, of the Issuer. Neither the Information Memorandum nor any other information supplied in
connection with the offering of the Bonds constitutes an offer or invitation by or on behalf of the Issuer or
the Joint Book Runners to any person to subscribe for or to purchase any Bonds.
Some statements in the Information Memorandum may be deemed to be forward looking statements. Forward
looking statements include statements concerning the Issuer's plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future
operations and performance and the assumptions underlying these forward looking statements. When used in the
Information Memorandum, the words "anticipates", "estimates", "expects", "believes", "intends", "plans",
"aims", "seeks", "may", "will", "should" and any similar expressions generally identify forward looking
statements. The Issuer has based these forward looking statements on the current view of its management with
respect to future events and financial performance. Although the Issuer believes that the expectations, estimates
and projections reflected in its forward looking statements are reasonable as of the date of the Information
Memorandum, if one or more of the risks or uncertainties materialize, including those identified below or which
the Issuer has otherwise identified in the Information Memorandum, or if any of the Issuer's underlying
assumptions prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, the Issuer's actual results of operation may vary from those
expected, estimated or predicted.
Any forward looking statements contained in the Information Memorandum speak only as at the date of the
Information Memorandum. Without prejudice to any requirement under applicable laws and regulations, the
Issuer expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to disseminate after the date of the Information
Memorandum any updates or revisions to any forward looking statements contained herein to reflect any change
in expectations thereof or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such forward looking
statement is based.
Neither the delivery of the Information Memorandum nor any sale made in connection herewith shall, under any
circumstances, create any implication that the information contained in the Information Memorandum is true
subsequent to the date hereof or otherwise that there has been no change in the affairs or in the condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Issuer since the date hereof or the date upon which the Information Memorandum
has been most recently amended or supplemented or any other information supplied in connection with the
Bonds is correct at any time subsequent to the date on which it is supplied or, if different, the date indicated in
the document containing the same. The Joint Book Runners and the Issuer expressly do not undertake to review
the financial condition or affairs of the Issuer during the life of the Bonds.
