In accordance with financial transparency rules and legislation, Elia Group publishes the shareholding notifications it has received. Under Belgian laws relating to transparency, shareholdings of at least 5% (or a multiple of 5%) must be reported to the FSMA and to the company in question.
In accordance with Article 15 of the 2 May 2007 law regarding the publication of major shareholdings (“transparency law”), Elia Group must publish (1) its total share capital, (2) the total number of shares entitling their holders to voting rights and (3) the total number of voting rights, at the latest by the end of each month during which these numbers were increased or decreased.
When it publishes this information, the company must also disclose the total number of bonds convertible into shares entitling their holders to voting rights, the subscription rights relating to shares entitling their holders to voting rights not yet issued, and the total number of voting rights that would result from the exercising of these conversion or subscription rights.
This information enables Elia’s shareholders to check whether they have fallen below or risen above the 5% threshold (and its multiples of 5) of total voting rights and whether they are therefore obliged, under Article 514 of the Companies Code, to declare the crossing of a threshold. Although adding more restrictive thresholds to its Articles of Association was made possible by the "transparency law", Elia has not undertaken this.
Based only on the transparency notifications received by the Company in accordance with the Law of 2 May 2007 and the Royal Decree of 14 February 2008, the major shareholders of the Company hold the shares in the Company set out in the table below, prior to giving effect to the Shares issued in the context of the PIPE. These transparency declarations have been made on the basis of the legal 5 per cent. disclosure thresholds set out in the Law of 2 May 2007.

(2) These percentages are calculated using the number of outstanding shares at the time of the transparency notification as the denominator applicable at the time of the transparency notification.
