activiteitsgebieden BOCIMAR DROGE BULK Bocimar is een reder, gespecialiseerd in het vervoer van droge bulkgoederen. Bocimar beschikt over een moderne vloot van zowel eigen als ingehuurde schepen van het type capesize (> 150.000 dwt), panamax (70.000 tot 80.000 dwt), handymax (50.000 tot 60.000 dwt), postpanamax (85.000 tot 100.000 dwt) en handysize (25.000 tot 35.0000 dwt). Naast het vervoer van droge bulkgoederen is Bocimar ook actief als koper en verkoper van zowel tweedehands als nieuwbouwschepen. Momenteel bestaat de vloot van Bocimar, in volledige of gedeeltelijke eigendom, uit 26 capesize eenheden, 2 postpanamaxeenheden, 4 handymaxeenheden en 27 handysize eenheden (waarvan 10 in aanbouw). ASL AVIATION LUCHTVAART ASL Aviation is gespecialiseerd in luchtvaartoperaties, dienstverlening en leasingactiviteiten.

Mevrouwen, Mijne Heren, Op 18 maart 2013 overleed Jacques Saverys gewezen bestuurder en gedelegeerd bestuurder van CMB. In naam van mijn collega bestuurders en mezelf breng ik hulde aan de man die zich gedurende vele jaren heeft ingezet voor de Belgische maritieme wereld in het algemeen en voor Bocimar en CMB in het bijzonder. De markten waarop Bocimar actief is, hebben in 2012 één van hun ergste crisissen gekend van de afgelopen dertig jaar. De toevloed aan nieuwbouwschepen, de vertraging in de groei van de Chinese economie en van de wereldhandel zijn hier uiteraard niet vreemd aan. De toename in de verschroting en de sterke daling van de nog te leveren schepen alsook van het orderboek, sterkt Bocimar in de overtuiging dat in de tweede helft van 2013 of begin 2014 een beter evenwicht tussen vraag en aanbod kan bereikt worden. ASL kan ondanks weinig of geen verbetering in de moeilijke werkomstandigheden voor de luchtvaartsector in 2012 eens te meer een sterk resultaat neerzetten. Rekening houdend met haar langetermijncontracten en de reeds verkochte passagiersvluchten ziet ASL 2013 met vertrouwen tegemoet. De raad van bestuur zal aan de algemene vergadering van dinsdag 14 mei 2013 voorstellen om over het boekjaar 2012 een brutodividend van 0,08 EUR per aandeel (0,06 EUR per aandeel netto) uit te keren. Mits goedkeuring door de algemene vergadering zal dit dividend betaalbaar gesteld worden op 24 mei 2013. Ter herinnering, het dividend over het boekjaar 2012 hield rekening met een bijkomend brutodividend van 0,52 EUR per aandeel naar aanleiding van de verkoop van de aandelen Clarksons begin 2012.. Etienne Davignon 9

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE VERKLARING CMB verbindt zich tot het naleven van alle toepasselijke wettelijke bepalingen inzake corporate governance en hanteert de principes uit de 2009 Belgische corporate governance code als referentie. CMB beschikt sinds 2006 over een corporate governance charter. De meest recente versie (2012) van het CMB corporate governance charter is beschikbaar op de website van de vennootschap (http:// www.cmb.be onder de hoofding Investor Relations doorklikken naar Corporate Governance Charter). In dit hoofdstuk bespreekt de raad van bestuur de feitelijke informatie aangaande het gevoerde corporate governance beleid van de vennootschap. Indien van toepassing zal er, in dit hoofdstuk, tevens toelichting gegeven worden van de redenen waarom de vennootschap afwijkt van sommige bepalingen van de code. In overeenstemming met artikel 34 van het koninklijk besluit van 14 november 2007 dienen beursgenoteerde vennootschappen in hun jaarverslag relevante informatie op te nemen die een impact kan hebben in het geval van een openbaar overnamebod. De elementen bedoeld in vermelde regelgeving die van toepassing zijn op de vennootschap worden eveneens in dit hoofdstuk behandeld (met name een overzicht van de kapitaalstructuur van de vennootschap, belangrijke aandelenparticipaties van derden die de door de wet en de statuten voorgeschreven drempels overschrijden, de statutaire regels voor benoeming en vervanging van de bestuurders en voor de wijziging van de statuten en de bevoegdheid van de raad van bestuur tot inkoop van eigen aandelen). De andere elementen voorzien in hoger vermeld artikel 34 zijn momenteel niet van toepassing op de vennootschap. De relevante gebeurtenissen die plaatsvonden in het boekjaar 2012 worden besproken in het hoofdstuk Jaaroverzicht. 1/ BELANGRIJKSTE KENMERKEN VAN DE INTERNE CONTROLE EN RISICOBEHEERSYSTEMEN VAN DE VENNOOTSCHAP De inschatting van de risico s eigen aan de activiteiten van de Groep en de evaluatie van de doeltreffendheid van de interne controle behoren tot de verantwoordelijkheid van de raad van bestuur. De raad van bestuur wordt voor wat haar opdracht van risicobeoordeling en beheer betreft, bijgestaan door het auditcomité. Het auditcomité onderzoekt op regelmatige basis die gebieden die door de interne audit geïdentificeerd werden als gebieden waar risico s een grote impact kunnen hebben op de financiële situatie en reputatie van de Groep. Het is de verantwoordelijkheid van het management om passende interne controles en risicobeheersystemen te ontwikkelen en te handhaven. Deze controles moeten toelaten om een redelijke zekerheid te bieden omtrent de betrouwbaarheid van de financiële informatie, mits naleving van de toepasselijke vereisten. De controle en risicobeheersystemen worden op continue basis bijgewerkt en aangepast. Ze zijn ontworpen om fouten en onvolkomenheden in de financiële verslaggeving tijdig te ontdekken en te voorkomen. CMB heeft een corporate governance charter en een deontologische code ( code of conduct ) opgesteld. Deze zorgen ervoor dat de bestuurders en het personeel van de Groep zich houden aan alle wettelijke bepalingen en aan de corporate governance beginselen. Het management ziet toe op de naleving hiervan. 2/ KAPITAAL, AANDELEN, AANDEELHOUDERS Ingevolge een beslissing van de raad van bestuur stelt CMB vanaf boekjaar 2012 haar rekeningen op in USD. In navolging hiervan heeft de buitengewone algemene aandeelhoudersvergadering van 8 mei 2012 beslist het maatschappelijk kapitaal tevens in USD uit te drukken. 10

Op 31 december 2012 bedroeg het kapitaal van de vennootschap 35.000.000 USD, vertegenwoordigd door 35.000.000 gewone aandelen zonder vermelding van nominale waarde. Het kapitaal is volledig volstort. Alle aandelen zijn genoteerd op NYSE Euronext Brussel (CMB: ISIN BE0003817344). Toegestaan kapitaal: eveneens bij besluit van de buitengewone algemene vergadering de dato 8 mei 2012 werd aan de raad van bestuur de bevoegdheid verleend om binnen een periode van vijf jaar te rekenen van de datum van de bekendmaking van het besluit (zijnde 4 juni 2012), in één of meerdere malen, op de wijze en tegen de voorwaarden die de raad zal bepalen, het kapitaal te verhogen met een maximumbedrag van 10.400.000 USD. Verwijzend naar de informatie in het Jaarverslag 2011 en het Halfjaarverslag 2012, bedraagt het totaal aantal eigen aandelen in portefeuille van de vennootschap, per 31 december 2012, 535.000 aandelen (1,53%). De buitengewone algemene vergadering van 8 mei 2012 heeft tevens de machtiging verleend aan de raad van bestuur om, onder bepaalde voorwaarden, eigen aandelen van de vennootschap in te kopen, hernieuwd. Deze machtiging is geldig gedurende 5 jaar. In het kader van de OBA wetgeving ontving CMB in augustus 2012 een update van de initiële aanmelding van Saverco NV. Deze informatie is beschikbaar op de CMB website (http://www.cmb.be onder de hoofding Investor Relations doorklikken naar The CMB Share). Op dezelfde plaats kan eveneens alle informatie met betrekking tot het CMB aandeel en de aandeelhoudersstructuur geraadpleegd worden. In de loop van het boekjaar 2012 ontving CMB geen kennisgevingen in het kader van de Transparantiewetgeving van 2 mei 2007. Op basis van de meest recente kennisgevingen evenals informatie die publiek beschikbaar is, en rekening houdend met de eigen aandelen in portefeuille, ziet de aandeelhoudersstructuur er sinds 22 maart 2013 als volgt uit: Aandelen % Saverco NV/Marc Saverys 17.140.000 48,97 Victrix NV/Virginie Saverys 5.596.125 15,99 CMB NV 535.000 1,53 Derden 11.728.875 33,51 35.000.000 100,00 De vennootschap heeft geen weet van aandeelhouders die in onderling overleg handelen of van aandeelhoudersovereenkomsten. Er zijn geen statutaire beperkingen voor de overdracht van aandelen. 11

In de loop van 2012 evolueerde de koers van het CMB aandeel als volgt EVOLUTIE KOERS CMB aandeel jan 2012 dec 2012 in EUR 19,00 18,00 17,00 16,00 15,00 14,00 13,00 12,00 11,00 10,00 Jan Feb Maa Apr Mei Jun Jul Aug Sep Okt Nov Dec 3/ ALGEMENE AANDEELHOUDERSVERGADERINGEN Overeenkomstig de statutaire bepalingen vindt de jaarlijkse (gewone) algemene aandeelhoudersvergadering van CMB plaats op de tweede dinsdag van mei om 14u30. In 2013 zal de gewone algemene vergadering doorgaan te 2000 Antwerpen, Schaliënstraat 5 in de Philippe Saverys room (5de verdieping). De regels voor de bijeenroeping, deelname (registratieformaliteiten en vertegenwoordiging), aandeelhoudersrechten, het verloop van de vergaderingen, de uitoefening van het stemrecht, agenda en alle andere informatie en/of documenten met betrekking tot de vergaderingen zijn beschikbaar op de CMB website (http://www.cmb.be onder de hoofding Investor Relations doorklikken naar General Assemblies). Deze informatie wordt eveneens per brief overgemaakt aan alle aandeelhouders op naam. Iedere wijziging van de statuten dient ter goedkeuring voorgelegd te worden aan een buitengewone algemene aandeelhoudersvergadering. Voor wijzigingen van de statuten van CMB moet de algemene vergadering voldoen aan de aanwezigheids en meerderheidsvereisten zoals voorgeschreven in het W.Venn. en artikel 38 van de gecoördineerde statuten van CMB. 4/ RAAD VAN BESTUUR EN COMITES 4.1. Samenstelling raad van bestuur Op 31 december 2012 bestond de raad van bestuur uit tien leden, waarvan drie uitvoerende bestuurders en zeven niet uitvoerende bestuurders. Van de niet uitvoerende bestuurders zijn er momenteel vier onafhankelijke bestuurders, waarvan drie voldoen aan de strengere onafhankelijkheidscriteria zoals bepaald in het artikel 526ter W.Venn. Overeenkomstig huidige wetgeving dient de samenstelling van de raad van bestuur van CMB als beursgenoteerde vennootschap met een free float van minder dan 50% vanaf 1 januari 2019 tevens te voldoen aan de vereisten inzake genderdiversiteit. In augustus 2011 werd Mevrouw Fiona Morrison tot bestuurder benoemd ter vervanging en voleindiging van het mandaat van de Heer Thomas Leysen. Deze benoeming werd bevestigd door de algemene vergadering van 8 mei 2012. Ingevolge hiervan zou bij eventuele vervanging of benoeming van een bestuurder nog één vrouwelijke bestuurder aangesteld moeten worden om in overeenstemming te zijn met de geldende bepalingen qua genderdiversiteit. 12

(met de Heer Eric Verbeeck als vaste vertegenwoordiger) en de NV VICTRIX (met Mevrouw Virginie Saverys als vaste vertegenwoordiger). Vermelde bestuurders zijn herkiesbaar en de raad van bestuur zal aan de aandeelhoudersvergadering voorstellen hun mandaat van respectievelijk uitvoerende en niet uitvoerende bestuurders te hernieuwen voor een periode van drie jaar. Mevrouw Morrison beantwoordt tevens aan de functionele, familiale en financiële criteria van onafhankelijkheid die worden voorzien door artikel 526ter W.Venn. Bovendien heeft Mevrouw Morrison uitdrukkelijk verklaard en oordeelt de raad van bestuur dat zij geen banden onderhoudt met de vennootschap die haar onafhankelijkheid in het gedrang zouden brengen. Er zal voorgesteld worden haar mandaat als onafhankelijk bestuurder te hernieuwen voor een tweede termijn van drie jaar. 13

4.2. Benoeming bestuurders Bestuurders worden benoemd, herbenoemd of ontslagen bij meerderheid van stemmen door de aandeelhoudersvergadering. De raad van bestuur legt de voorstellen met betrekking tot de benoeming of herbenoeming van bestuurders voor aan de aandeelhoudersvergadering, voorzien van een aanbeveling van het benoemings en remuneratiecomité. Indien wegens overlijden, ontslag of een andere reden, een plaats van bestuurder vrijkomt, hebben de overige leden van de raad van bestuur het recht tijdelijk in de vacature te voorzien tot aan de eerstvolgende algemene vergadering die tot de definitieve vervanging overgaat. De bestuurder die in vermelde omstandigheden wordt aangesteld, wordt slechts benoemd voor de tijd nodig om het mandaat van de bestuurder die hij vervangt te voleindigen. 4.3. Werking van de raad van bestuur Tijdens de vergaderingen van de raad van bestuur werden in het bijzonder naast de wettelijk verplichte onderwerpen zoals het opstellen van de rekeningen, van het jaarverslag en van het halfjaarlijks verslag, het opstellen van persberichten of het voorbereiden van algemene vergaderingen de volgende onderwerpen behandeld: bedrijfsstrategie en bedrijfsstructuur, budgetten, tussentijdse resultaten en vooruitzichten, overzicht van de gang van zaken bij de voornaamste dochterondernemingen, investeringen en desinvesteringen in materiële vaste activa en deelnemingen, portefeuille en thesaurie, vloot en in en verkoop van eigen aandelen. De door de raad van bestuur behandelde onderwerpen worden op voorhand uitgebreid in een dossier toegelicht. De raad van bestuur komt samen telkens het belang van de vennootschap zulks vereist, en telkens ten minste drie bestuurders het vragen. De werking van de raad van bestuur wordt geregeld door de statuten en de bepalingen van het charter van CMB. Zoals bepaald in de statuten van CMB is, in uitzonderlijke gevallen, wanneer de dringende noodzakelijkheid en het belang van de vennootschap zulks vereisen, een geschreven besluit, ondertekend en goedgekeurd door alle bestuurders, even geldig en bindend als een besluit genomen op een vergadering van de raad van bestuur die regelmatig werd bijeengeroepen en gehouden; om het even welkdanig besluit mag uit meerdere documenten bestaan in soortgelijke vorm, elkeen getekend of voor echt verklaard door één of meerdere bestuurders. Een geschreven besluit is niet toegelaten voor de vaststelling van de jaarrekening en de aanwending van het toegestane kapitaal. De beslissingen in de raad van bestuur worden genomen in overeenstemming met artikel 22 van de statuten dat onder meer voorziet dat, in geval van staking van stemmen, de stem van de voorzitter doorslaggevend is. Tot nu toe heeft dit zich nog nooit voorgedaan. Sinds de buitengewone algemene vergadering van 9 mei 2003 blijven de leden van de raad van bestuur in functie voor een periode van maximum drie jaar. De statuten voorzien momenteel geen leeftijdsgrens voor de leden van de raad van bestuur. 14

In 2012 kwam de raad van bestuur van CMB zeven maal samen, met name op 16 maart, 23 maart, 27 maart, 8 mei (informele vergadering), 19 juni, 28 augustus en 11 december. De vergaderingen van 16 maart en 23 maart, gehouden in het kader van een belangenconflict (zie verder), werden bijgewoond door de Voorzitter en de onafhankelijke bestuurders. Voor wat betreft de vergadering van 23 maart, gaf de Heer Jean Pierre Hansen volmacht. Voor alle overige vergaderingen waren alle bestuurders aanwezig, met uitzondering van de Heer Jean Pierre Hansen, voor wat betreft de vergadering van 28 augustus, en NV VICTRIX en NV A.P.E. voor de vergadering van 19 juni. In 2012 werden door de raad van bestuur geen schriftelijke besluiten genomen. In 2012 heeft de raad van bestuur, naast wat hierboven vermeld staat, onder andere het volgende besproken: goedkeuring van een optieplan: Het betreft een optieplan op aandelen van de Bevek KBC Index Fund Euroland Kap NV (Benchmark Euro STOXX50); opening van een kantoor te Singapore en sluiting van het kantoor te Shanghai; voorstel om de droge bulk activiteiten van Delphis over te nemen; studie strategische opties luchtvaartactiviteiten; herfinanciering van de bestaande revolving facility; verkoop aandelen Clarksons en FMG; mogelijke aankoop luchtvaartactiviteiten TNT door ASL. 4.4. Gedragsregels inzake belangenconflicten Het beleid van de raad van bestuur inzake belangenconflicten wordt toegelicht in het CMB corporate governance charter (III.7 en V.7). Als algemene regel geldt dat eventuele verrichtingen tussen de vennootschap (of met haar verbonden vennootschappen) en bestuurders/leden van het directiecomité steeds aan marktconforme voorwaarden dienen te geschieden. Momenteel verleent Saverco NV administratieve diensten aan de CMB Groep. Deze diensten worden gefactureerd aan marktconforme voorwaarden. Verder heeft de vennootschap geen weet van enige rechtstreekse en onrechtstreekse banden tussen de vennootschap en de belangrijkste aandeelhouders. 15

In de loop van 2012 heeft er zich bij de volgende gelegenheden een belangenconflict voorgedaan op het niveau van de raad van bestuur, ingevolge waarvan de bepalingen van artikel 523 van het W.Venn. werden toegepast: met betrekking tot de voorgestelde aankoop door CMB/BOCIMAR van de droge bulk belangen van SAVERCO Uit de notulen van de raad van bestuur van 16 maart 2012 (samengesteld uit de voorzitter van de raad van bestuur en de onafhankelijke bestuurders) is gebleken dat: Dagorde De behandeling van het rapport van onafhankelijke bestuurders gevraagd door het management en de beoordeling van de voorgestelde aankoop door CMB NV en Bocimar van de droge bulk belangen van Saverco (Project Crown). Rapport van onafhankelijke bestuurders Er werd vooreerst akte genomen, conform art. 523 W.Venn, van de melding van het bestaan van een tegenstrijdig belang van vermogensrechtelijke aard en dit als aandeelhouder en/of bestuurder van Saverco NV en/of Delphis NV van de Heren Marc Saverys, Ludwig Criel, Alexander Saverys en Benoit Timmermans. De vennootschap Victrix NV met als vast vertegenwoordiger mevrouw Virginie Saverys meldt ook in haar hoofde een onrechtstreeks tegenstrijdig belang van vermogensrechtelijke aard. De Raad van Bestuur (samengesteld in overeenstemming met art. 22 van de Statuten van CMB NV) heeft kennis genomen van een ontwerp van rapport van onafhankelijke bestuurders van 14 maart 2012 dat door het management werd gevraagd. Het rapport bespreekt de mogelijke aankoop door CMB NV en Bocimar van de droge bulk belangen van Saverco NV. De Raad van Bestuur, zonder dat de voormelde personen hebben deelgenomen aan de beraadslaging, heeft na bespreking van het rapport en in het bijzonder de voorgestelde transactie, een aantal bijkomende vragen gesteld aan het comité van onafhankelijke bestuurders en gevraagd dat de Raad van Bestuur binnen de zeven dagen opnieuw bijeen zou komen om verder te delibereren. Uit de notulen van de raad van bestuur van 23 maart 2012 (samengesteld uit de voorzitter van de raad van bestuur en de onafhankelijke bestuurders, met uitzondering van de Heer Hansen die volmacht gaf ) is gebleken dat: Dagorde De verdere behandeling van het rapport van onafhankelijke bestuurders en de beoordeling van de voorgestelde aankoop door CMB NV en Bocimar van de droge bulk belangen van Saverco (Project Crown). Rapport van onafhankelijke bestuurders Er werd opnieuw vergaderd zonder de aanwezigheid van de Heren Marc Saverys, Ludwig Criel, Alexander Saverys en Benoit Timmermans alsook de vennootschap Victrix NV met als vast vertegenwoordiger mevrouw Virginie Saverys die aldus niet deelgenomen hebben aan de beraadslagingen van de Raad van Bestuur. De Heer Jean Pierre Hansen wordt vertegenwoordigd door de Heer Jean Pierre Blumberg. Beoordeling Voorgestelde Transactie: Tijdens de vergadering van de Raad van Bestuur van 16 maart 2012 heeft de Raad van Bestuur een eerste maal vergaderd met het comité van onafhankelijke bestuurders en werd er voorgesteld dat de Raad van Bestuur vandaag opnieuw zou vergaderen om het definitieve verslag van het comité te bespreken. De Raad van Bestuur heeft het voorstel van het management en het verslag van het comité van onafhankelijke bestuurders besproken. Het verslag van het comité van onafhankelijke bestuurders besluit dat de voorgestelde transactie niet kennelijk onrechtmatig is en ook geen nadeel betekent voor de vennootschap noch strijdig is met de belangen van de vennootschap. De Raad van Bestuur is verder van oordeel dat de voorgestelde transactie die uitvoerig omschreven wordt in het rapport van onafhankelijke bestuurders in het strategisch belang is van de vennootschap. Niet alleen worden potentiële belangenconflicten op het niveau van de Saverco Groep geëlimineerd maar biedt de transactie de mogelijkheid voor de vennootschap om haar vloot uit te breiden tegen een aantrekkelijke prijs. 16

Beoordeling Modaliteiten: Teneinde de modaliteiten van de transactie te beoordelen heeft het comité van onafhankelijke bestuurders zich laten bijstaan door financiële en juridische experten. De Raad van Bestuur heeft vandaag akte genomen van de bevindingen van het comité van onafhankelijke bestuurders en merkt in het bijzonder het volgende op: (i) De prijs van USD 9,1 miljoen voorgesteld door het management bevindt zich aan de onderkant van de prijsvork die door de financiële experten werd vastgelegd en met name een prijsvork tussen USD 8 miljoen en USD 11,1 miljoen. (ii) Er wordt rekening gehouden met de geldende marktconforme waarden en dit wordt geïllustreerd door het feit dat de prijs voorgesteld door het management in februari USD 13,4 miljoen bedroeg op basis van makelaarswaarderingen van januari terwijl op basis van de huidige waarderingen een prijs van USD 9,1 miljoen wordt voorgesteld. (iii) De voorgestelde transactie zal de vennootschap toelaten de gemiddelde aanschafwaarde van de schepen in haar vloot te verlagen, de gemiddelde leeftijd van haar vloot te verminderen en het contractueel dekkingsratio van haar vloot te verbeteren. (iv) De prijs die zou worden betaald voor de profit sharing onder de Dreyfus bevrachtingsovereenkomst (te weten USD 3,75 miljoen), hoewel moeilijk te berekenen omwille van de volatiliteit van de markten en het gebrek aan visibiliteit naar de toekomst toe, kan redelijkerwijze worden vastgesteld op basis van het gemiddelde van de uiteenlopende makelaarswaarderingen daarbij rekening houdend met de historische evolutie van de markten. Besluit van De Raad van Bestuur: In achtgenomen alle hierboven vermelde elementen en in het licht van de grondige analyses van het comité van onafhankelijke bestuurders alsmede van de financiële en juridische experten keurt de Raad van Bestuur de voorgestelde transactie door het management goed. Persbericht: Een ontwerp van persbericht werd besproken en mits een aantal kleine wijzigingen heeft de Raad van Bestuur het persbericht goedgekeurd. De agenda afgehandeld zijnde, wordt de vergadering gesloten. met betrekking tot de goedkeuring van hoger vermeld aandelenoptieplan. Uit de notulen van de raad van bestuur van 11 december 2012 is gebleken dat: Vooraleer over te gaan tot behandeling van dit agendapunt, en in navolging van vorige jaren, hebben de heren Marc Saverys, Ludwig Criel en Benoît Timmermans, conform artikel 523 van het Wetboek van Vennootschappen, de overige bestuurders ingelicht omtrent het bestaan van een tegenstrijdig belang van vermogensrechtelijke aard en dit als potentiële begunstigden van een variabele verloning en van het voorgestelde optieplan. Zij nemen verder niet deel aan de beraadslaging en beslissing omtrent dit agendapunt. De overige leden van de raad van bestuur hebben vervolgens hun goedkeuring gehecht aan het voorstel om eventuele variabele verloning, volledig of gedeeltelijk, te ontvangen onder de vorm van een optieplan met de Bevek KBC Index Fund Euroland Kap NV (Benchmark Euro STOXX50) als onderliggend aandeel. 17

4.5. Comités van de raad van bestuur De raad van bestuur wordt bijgestaan door twee gespecialiseerde adviserende comités, met name het auditcomité en het benoemings en remuneratiecomité. Auditcomité CMB beschikt over een auditcomité, in overeenstemming met artikel 526bis van het W.Venn. In overeenstemming met de bepalingen van W.Venn, is minstens één lid een onafhankelijk bestuurder. In overeenstemming met artikel 96 9 van het W.Venn. wordt bevestigd dat de Heer Jean Pierre Hansen, voorzitter van het auditcomité, deskundig is op het gebied van boekhouding en audit. Leden: Jean Pierre Hansen voorzitter Etienne Davignon Eric Verbeeck (als vast vertegenwoordiger van NV A.P.E.) De samenstelling, bevoegdheden, opdrachten, werking en evaluatie van het auditcomité worden uitvoerig toegelicht in het CMB charter. Het auditcomité kwam in 2012 drie maal samen (met name op 27 maart, 19 juni en 28 augustus). Telkens waren alle leden aanwezig, met uitzondering van de Heer Eric Verbeeck, die verontschuldigd was voor de vergadering van 19 juni. In 2012 heeft het auditcomité de raad van bestuur bijgestaan in de uitoefening van zijn verantwoordelijkheden voor het opvolgen van de controle in de meest ruime zin. Tijdens de vergaderingen werden onder andere de volgende onderwerpen behandeld: nazicht van de geconsolideerde zowel jaarlijkse als halfjaarlijkse financiële staten van CMB, met voor wat de jaarrekening betreft, bijzondere aandacht voor de waardering van de vloot, de waardering van de beleggingsportefeuille en hangende geschillen; beoordelen van de afdoendheid van het interne controle en risicobeheersysteem van CMB met inbegrip van de procedures voor de inschatting van de risico s op het gebied van afgeleide producten; aanstelling en evaluatie van de interne auditfunctie; bespreking van de diverse interne controle opdrachten, uitgevoerd door de interne audit; nakijken van de persberichten, voornamelijk met betrekking tot de financiële resultaten van de Groep; nazicht van de teksten in het jaarverslag met betrekking tot de financiële informatie van CMB; toezicht en opvolging van de onafhankelijkheid van de commissaris en nazicht van de aard en omvang van niet auditdiensten van de commissaris. Na elke vergadering brengt de voorzitter van het auditcomité verslag uit aan de raad van bestuur over de aangelegenheden die besproken werden in het comité en formuleert de aanbevelingen van het comité aan de raad van bestuur voor besluitvorming. Benoemings en remuneratiecomité De raad van bestuur heeft op 31 maart 1998 een benoemings en remuneratiecomité opgericht. In overeenstemming met de richtlijnen van de corporate governance code, evenals artikel 526quater W.Venn., bestaat het benoemings en remuneratiecomité momenteel uitsluitend uit niet uitvoerende bestuurders, waarvan de meerderheid onafhankelijk is. 18

Leden: Etienne Davignon voorzitter Jean Pierre Blumberg Jean Pierre Hansen De samenstelling, bevoegdheden, opdrachten, werking en evaluatie van het benoemings en remuneratiecomité worden uitvoerig toegelicht in het CMB charter. Ingevolge hun opleiding en uitgeoefende functies tijdens hun loopbaan beschikken de leden van het benoemings en remuneratiecomité over de vereiste ervaring met betrekking tot de verloning van bestuurders en directieleden. Het benoemings en remuneratiecomité kwam in 2012 tweemaal samen (met name op 27 maart en op 11 december). Telkens waren alle leden aanwezig. Onder andere de volgende agendapunten werden behandeld: herziening van de jaarlijkse vergoeding van de niet uitvoerende bestuurders, van de leden van het directiecomité en de werknemers; formuleren van aanbevelingen met betrekking tot het jaarlijkse bonusplan voor de leden van het directiecomité en de werknemers; voorbereiding van het remuneratieverslag, zoals vermeld onder punt 5. aanbevelingen doen aan de raad van bestuur met betrekking tot de (her)benoeming van (onafhankelijke) bestuurders; Na de vergadering brengt de voorzitter van het benoemings en remuneratiecomité verslag uit aan de raad van bestuur over de aangelegenheden die besproken werden in het comité en formuleert de aanbevelingen van het comité aan de raad van bestuur voor besluitvorming. 4.6. CEO Directiecomité Het directiecomité in de zin van artikel 524 bis van het W.Venn. werd op 20 juni 2003 door de raad van bestuur opgericht. Tijdens dezelfde vergadering werd tevens het reglement van orde van het directiecomité bepaald. De machten, bevoegdheden, voorwaarden voor benoeming van de leden van het directiecomité, hun ontslag, vergoeding en duur van hun benoeming worden bepaald door de raad van bestuur. De bevoegdheden, werking en evaluatie van het directiecomité worden toegelicht in het CMB Charter. Het directiecomité bestaat momenteel uit vier leden. Het voorzitterschap van het directiecomité wordt waargenomen door de Heer Marc Saverys, in zijn hoedanigheid van gedelegeerd bestuurder van de vennootschap (CEO). Huidige samenstelling: Marc Saverys, voorzitter Ludwig Criel Francis Sarre, secretaris van de raad van bestuur Benoît Timmermans Het directiecomité vergadert tweewekelijks. Tijdens elke vergadering van de raad van bestuur brengt het directiecomité verslag uit aan de leden van de raad van bestuur. Op basis van deze verslagen, mondeling of schriftelijk, kan de raad van bestuur toezicht uitoefenen op de activiteiten van het directiecomité. 19

5/ REMUNERATIEVERSLAG Het hierna vermelde remuneratieverslag werd opgesteld in overeenstemming met de belangrijkste aanbevelingen geformuleerd door het corporate governance committee evenals de wet tot versterking van het deugdelijk bestuur, dewelke ondermeer een grotere transparantie met betrekking tot de verloning van het topmanagement nastreven. Niet uitvoerende bestuurders: remuneratiebeleid/remuneratie voor het boekjaar 2012 De vergoeding van niet uitvoerende bestuurders bestaat uit een vaste basisvergoeding ter vergoeding van de algemene verantwoordelijkheid die ze opnemen desgevallend aangevuld met een vergoeding voor lidmaatschap van een comité (auditcomité en/of benoemings en remuneratiecomité). In overeenstemming met het belang van zijn rol wordt aan de voorzitter van de raad van bestuur een hogere vergoeding toegekend die momenteel het driedubbele van een gewone bestuurdersvergoeding bedraagt. Hierbovenop wordt aan elke bestuurder een zitpenning toegekend per bijgewoonde vergadering. De bestuurders die in 2012 deel uitmaakten van het directiecomité hebben verzaakt aan deze vaste vergoeding (inclusief zitpenningen). Hun vergoeding is in overeenstemming met het remuneratiebeleid van de Groep (zie verder) en is verbonden aan de functie die zij uitoefenen binnen de Groep. De vergoeding van de niet uitvoerende bestuurders wordt door het benoemings en remuneratiecomité periodiek getoetst op markconformiteit (o.a. vergelijking met andere beursgenoteerde vennootschappen). De door het benoemings en remuneratiecomité voorgestelde aanpassingen, indien nodig, worden vervolgens ter goedkeuring voorgelegd aan de algemene vergadering. De bedragen voor de vergoeding van de niet uitvoerende bestuurders werden voor het laatst in 2005 aangepast en goedgekeurd door de aandeelhoudersvergadering. Sindsdien worden ze jaarlijks ter bevestiging aan de aandeelhoudersvergadering voorgelegd. Momenteel ontvangen de bestuurders voor de uitoefening van hun bestuursmandaat een vaste vergoeding van 25.000 EUR. Voor de voorzitter bedraagt de vaste vergoeding 75.000 EUR. Verder wordt aan elke bestuurder een zitpenning van 5.000 EUR betaald per bijgewoonde vergadering van de raad van bestuur. Voor een mandaat binnen het auditcomité wordt een vergoeding van 12.500 EUR per jaar betaald. Voor de voorzitter van het auditcomité bedraagt deze vergoeding 25.000 EUR. Voor een mandaat binnen het benoemings en remuneratiecomité wordt een vergoeding van 3.000 EUR per jaar betaald. Niet uitvoerende bestuurders ontvangen geen andere compensatie elementen of variabele vergoedingen, zoals bonussen, aandelengerelateerde incentives, pensioen of andere voordelen. De vennootschap verleende aan geen enkele bestuurder leningen, waarborgen of voorschotten. Het remuneratiebeleid voorziet momenteel geen aandelenoptieplannen op het CMB aandeel voor bestuurders, leden van het directiecomité of werknemers. 20

Overzicht van de tijdens het boekjaar 2012 door de niet uitvoerende bestuurders ontvangen vergoedingen Het totale brutobedrag van de vergoedingen uitbetaald in 2012, aan alle niet uitvoerende bestuurders, voor hun prestaties in de raad van bestuur en/of comités (waar toepasbaar) bedraagt 454.000 EUR.

NV Eric Verbeeck 25.000 25.000 12.500 62.500 (x) 6 vergaderingen Totaal 454.000 Directiecomité: remuneratiebeleid/remuneratie voor het boekjaar 2012 Het verloningsbeleid voor de leden van het directiecomité (inclusief de CEO) wordt bepaald door de raad van bestuur, na advies van het benoemings en remuneratiecomité. Principieel bestaat de globale remuneratie voor de uitvoerende bestuurders/leden van het directiecomité (met inbegrip van de CEO) uit de volgende componenten: een vaste vergoeding (het basissalaris) gelinkt aan de functie die de betrokkene bekleedt, zijn verantwoordelijkheden binnen de vennootschap, competenties en het niveau van ervaring. Het gehanteerde verloningsbeleid dat regelmatig getoetst wordt op marktconformiteit, dient te voorzien in een competitieve en op de markt aantrekkelijke vergoeding die tegemoetkomt aan de belangen van het management en van de aandeelhouders; een variabele vergoeding met een conform de bonuspolitiek van CMB/BOCIMAR korte-termijn horizon. Voor leden van het directiecomité wiens bijdrage rechtstreeks bepalend is voor het genereren van het resultaat van de Groep is de variabele remuneratie bijgevolg grotendeels (60%) gelinkt aan het tijdens het boekjaar gerealiseerde geconsolideerd nettoresultaat én in mindere mate (40%) op individuele appreciatie (specifieke beoordeling en functionering van elk individu). Deze beoordeling kan maximaal leiden tot een verhoging van 50% ten opzichte van het vorige jaar. Het gedeelte gelinkt aan het resultaat wordt berekend op basis van de variatie van het resultaat van het boekjaar ten opzichte van het jaar 2007 (de datum van invoering van deze bonuspolitiek) waarbij de variatie van het recurrent resultaat gewogen wordt aan 2/3 en de variatie van het niet-recurrent resultaat aan 1/3. Het bedrag van de variabele remuneratie wordt momenteel cash uitbetaald of onder de vorm van niet-beursgenoteerde aandelenopties op de Bevek KBC Index Fund Euroland Kap NV (zie verder). 21

Voor het boekjaar 2012 werd de variabele vergoeding van de leden van het directiecomité bepaald zoals hoger vermeld. De evaluatieperiode was het boekjaar 2012. De toegepaste methode was de toetsing van de verschillen tussen budget, verschillende prognoses en het eindresultaat. Indien het uiteindelijk resultaat op substantiële wijze zou afwijken van de basis waarop de variabele remuneratie van de leden van het directiecomité is berekend, kan de raad van bestuur beslissen om het variabele gedeelte van de remuneratie te herzien en desgevallend terug te vorderen. De bonuspolitiek van CMB/BOCIMAR voorziet momenteel geen langetermijnincentives (zoals bijvoorbeeld aandelenoptieplannen op het CMB-aandeel). Verder werd, met betrekking tot de variabele vergoeding van de uitvoerende bestuurders en de leden van het directiecomité, van de algemene aandeelhoudersvergadering van 10 mei 2011, de goedkeuring bekomen om af te wijken van de spreiding van de variabele vergoeding op langere prestatieperioden, vermits dit kadert binnen de door de CMB/BOCIMAR-Groep sinds 2007 gevoerde bonuspolitiek. een verzekeringspakket (bestaande uit pensioenvorming, dekking overlijdensrisico, dekking invaliditeit, ongevallenverzekering, hospitalisatieverzekering, reisbijstandsverzekering). Tijdens haar vergadering van 26 maart 2013 besliste de raad van bestuur op aangeven van het benoemings- en remuneratiecomité om vanaf 2013 de pensioenvorming voor de leden van het directiecomité die het statuut van zelfstandige bedrijfsleider hebben, aan te passen aan de gangbare marktpraktijken. In dit verband baseerde het benoemings- en remuneratiecomité zich op een advies van een onafhankelijk adviesbureau voor personeelsbeloningen diverse andere verloningscomponenten in lijn met wat gebruikelijk is in de markt, waaronder als belangrijkste elementen: gebruik van een bedrijfswagen, GSM en maaltijdcheques. Sinds 2006 kan eventuele variabele remuneratie, volledig of gedeeltelijk, ontvangen worden onder de vorm van niet-beursgenoteerde aandelenopties. Voor 2012 was dit tevens het geval. De aandelenopties voor het boekjaar 2012 hebben volgende kenmerken: Bevek KBC Index Fund Euroland Kap NV (Benchmark Euro STOXX50). Aanbod: maart 2013 Uitoefentermijn: de uitoefenperiode gaat in vanaf één jaar na de datum van het aanbod en loopt tot het verstrijken van 10 jaar te rekenen vanaf de datum van het aanbod. Na het verstrijken van de blokkeringsperiode van één jaar kunnen de aandelenopties door de begunstigden verkocht of uitgeoefend worden. De verschillende verloningscomponenten van de leden van het directiecomité (inclusief de CEO) worden jaarlijks, doorgaans op de vergadering van het benoemings- en remuneratiecomité van december, geëvalueerd en getoetst op hun markconformiteit. Om een vergoedingsniveau te handhaven in overeenstemming met vergelijkbare bedrijven in de maritieme sector, kan het benoemings- en remuneratiecomité, indien wenselijk, het advies inroepen van een externe onafhankelijke consulent (onder andere voor benchmarking). Tijdens vermelde vergadering worden door het comité tevens de voorstellen geformuleerd met betrekking tot de individuele verloningspaketten van de leden van het directiecomité. Het relatieve belang van elke component in de totale vergoeding van de leden van het directiecomité (exco) was in 2012 als volgt: Vast: +/- 67% (voor de CEO) en +/- 65% (voor de overige leden exco) Variabel: +/- 25% (voor de CEO) en +/- 25% (voor de overige leden exco) Pensioen: +/- 4% (voor de CEO) +/- 5% (voor de overige leden exco) Andere verloningselementen: +/- 4% (voor de CEO) +/- 5% (voor de overige leden exco) 22

De vennootschap voorziet momenteel geen toekenning van aandelen van de vennootschap in het kader van een incentiveplan. Overzicht van de tijdens het boekjaar 2012 door de overige leden van het directiecomité ontvangen vergoedingen (op globale basis) Het betreft hier de remuneratie van de drie overige leden van het directiecomité waarvan twee met het statuut van zelfstandige bedrijfsleider en één als loontrekkende (arbeidsovereenkomst voor bedienden van onbepaalde duur). Om een vergelijkingspunt te behouden met de rapportering van vorige jaren dient vermeld te worden dat de cijfergegevens van het loontrekkende lid van het directiecomité tevens rekening houden met de door de vennootschap betaalde patronale RSZ, zijnde de totale kost voor de vennootschap. Vaste remuneratie Variabele remuneratie TOTAAL Pensioen 1.245.952,68 EUR 487.011,06 EUR 1.732.963,74 EUR Voor twee leden een vaste bijdragenplan en voor één lid een te bereiken doel plan, met een totaal aan betaalde bijdragen van 105.787,84 EUR per jaar.

De vennootschap voorziet momenteel geen toekenning van aandelen van de vennootschap in het kader van een incentiveplan. 23

Remuneratiebeleid/Remuneratie 2013 Het remuneratiebeleid voor 2013 voorziet geen belangrijke wijzigingen, met uitzondering van de aanpassing van het pensioenplan voor de leden van het directiecomité met het statuut van zelfstandige bedrijfsleider. Beschrijving van de voornaamste bepalingen van de contractuele relatie betreffende vertrekvergoeding met de leden van het directiecomité (inclusief de CEO) Met de drie leden van het directiecomité (inclusief de CEO) die het statuut van zelfstandige bedrijfsleider hebben, bestaan geen afspraken betreffende enige vorm van vertrekvergoeding. Voor het lid van het directiecomité met een bediendenstatuut (Belgische arbeidsovereenkomst) kan de arbeidsovereenkomst door de vennootschap beëindigd worden op de manieren voorzien in de Wet op de Arbeidsovereenkomsten met inachtname van de bestaande regels. Een eventuele verbrekingsvergoeding kan bijgevolg hoger liggen dan de vooropgestelde 12 of 18 maanden. Geen enkele overeenkomst met de CEO of een ander lid van het directiecomité werd afgesloten na 1 juli 2009. 6/ CONTROLE VAN DE VENNOOTSCHAP Externe controle: Het mandaat van commissaris werd op 11 mei 2010 toevertrouwd aan KLYNVELD PEAT MARWICK GOERDELER Bedrijfsrevisoren voor een periode van 3 jaar. Na afloop van de algemene vergadering van 10 mei 2011 werd de Heer Erik Helsen, als vaste vertegenwoordiger, vervangen door de Heer Serge Cosijns. Aan de algemene vergadering van 14 mei 2013 zal voorgesteld worden het mandaat van commissaris voor een periode van drie jaar, vervallend na de gewone algemene vergadering van 2016, toe te vertrouwen aan KLYNVELD PEAT MARWICK GOERDELER Bedrijfsrevisoren met de Heer Serge Cosijns als vaste vertegenwoordiger. Voor meer informatie over de vergoeding die in 2012 aan de commissaris werd betaald voor controle- en andere werkzaamheden, wordt verwezen naar toelichting 27 van de geconsolideerde jaarrekening. Interne controle: Zoals vermeld in het CMB-charter wordt de interne auditfunctie momenteel uitbesteed. In 2011 werd de aanstelling van ERNST & YOUNG Bedrijfsrevisoren om de interne auditfunctie van CMB en haar dochtervennootschappen waar te nemen, hernieuwd voor een periode van drie jaar (tot 31/12/2013). De interne controleactiviteiten worden uitgevoerd op basis van een door het auditcomité jaarlijks goedgekeurd en opgevolgd plan. Deze interne controleactiviteiten omvatten een uiteenlopende reeks onderwerpen en zijn gericht op de evaluatie en verbetering van de specifieke controlesystemen. 24

7/ MAATREGELEN GENOMEN IN OVEREENSTEMMING MET DE WETGEVING IN VERBAND MET MARKTMISBRUIK Het CMB-charter omvat, onder bijlage III - dealing code, een reeks richtlijnen inzake de handel in financiële instrumenten waaronder financiële instrumenten CMB. De bedoeling van deze code is ervoor te zorgen dat de bestuurders of werknemers van de CMB-Groep, of de personen die nauw verbonden zijn aan hen, met name echtgenoten/partners, kinderen, andere familieleden die meer dan één jaar deel uitmaken van hetzelfde huishouden, en bepaalde rechtspersonen (bv patrimoniumvennootschappen), geen misbruik maken van, zichzelf niet verdacht maken van misbruik, en de vertrouwelijkheid bewaren van koersgevoelige informatie waarover ze zouden beschikken, vooral in periodes voorafgaand aan de bekendmaking van financiële resultaten. Binnen CMB werd een compliance officer aangesteld die belast is met het toezicht op- en de naleving van het beleid inzake insider trading en marktmanipulatie door bestuurders, leden van het directiecomité, werknemers van de CMB-Groep en andere personen. Voor meer informatie over de dealing code, wordt verwezen naar het CMB-charter. 25

8/ COMPLY OR EXPLAIN Principe 4.12. Momenteel voorziet de jaarlijkse planning geen vergadering waarop enkel de niet-uitvoerende bestuurders aanwezig zijn ter bespreking van hun interactie met het uitvoerend management. Principe 5.2./4 Minstens de meerderheid van de leden van het auditcomité is onafhankelijk. De samenstelling van het auditcomité is in overeenstemming met de vereiste voorzien in artikel 526bis 2 W.Venn (één lid beantwoordt aan de onafhankelijkheidscriteria zoals vastgelegd in art. 526ter W.Venn) maar wijkt af van de aanbevelingen voorzien door de Corporate Governance Code (waarbij de meerderheid van de leden zou moeten voldoen aan de strengere onafhankelijkheidscriteria). De raad van bestuur is van mening dat voor sommige bestuurders een langlopend mandaat niet noodzakelijkerwijs hun onafhankelijkheid in gevaar brengt. Alle nieuw benoemde onafhankelijke bestuurders zullen echter voldoen aan de criteria zoals bepaald in vermeld artikel. 26

RISICO S EN ONZEKERHEDEN Bij het uitoefenen van haar activiteiten is de Groep onderhevig aan risico s en onzekerheden. Deze kunnen in een drietal categorieën samengevat worden: Strategische risico s: macro-economische omgeving, financiële omstandigheden, reputatie van de Groep, politieke en wetgevende ontwikkelingen. Operationele risico s: wijzigingen in de marktomstandigheden, kredieten, relaties met zakenpartners, human resources, IT-infrastructuur, veiligheid van activa en gegevens. Financiële risico s: thesaurie, belastingen, vooruitzichten en budgettering, juiste en tijdige rapportering, naleven van boekhoudnormen, schommelingen in interesten en wisselkoersen, indekkingen. De voornaamste specifieke risico s en onzekerheden per activiteit zijn als volgt: Bocimar: ongecontroleerde aangroei van de wereldvloot die de groei van de vraag overtreft; volatiliteit van de scheepvaartmarkten; wijzigende scheepvaartroutes; piraterij in de Golf van Aden en de Indische Oceaan; verdere consolidatie en concentratie bij de leveranciers van grondstoffen; tegenpartijrisico s. De meeste van deze risico s zijn voldoende afgedekt door de politiek van termijnindekking met gerenommeerde tegenpartijen. Mede dankzij de recente Belgische wetgeving die toelaat gewapende milities aan boord te zetten van Belgische schepen die in de Indische Oceaan opereren, wordt het risico op piraterij ingeperkt. ASL Aviation: belangrijke wijzigingen in de waarde van vliegtuigen. De waarde van vliegtuigen is onderhevig aan wijzigingen naar aanleiding van technologische factoren, veranderende regelingen en brandstofprijzen; tegenpartijrisico op de leasingportfolio; verminderen van de vraag naar passagiersvluchten vanwege touroperators; ontwrichting van het luchtverkeer naar aanleiding van natuurfenomenen. Naast deze specifieke risico s wordt de Groep in al haar activiteiten geconfronteerd met een wisselkoers- en interestrisico. De Groep gebruikt diverse financiële instrumenten om deze risico s in te dekken. Dit wordt omstandig toegelicht in toelichting 19 bij de geconsolideerde rekeningen. 27

Uit deze oefening is gebleken dat, in het huidige economische klimaat, het moeilijk is om potentiële partners te vinden op basis van een correcte waardering van het bedrijf. Bovendien is gebleken dat ASL binnen de luchtvaartindustrie nog over voldoende groeipotentieel beschikt op basis van de opportuniteiten die zich momenteel aandienen om aldus de aandeelhouderswaarde verder te doen toenemen. De raden van bestuur van CMB en 3PAF, samen met het management van ASL, hebben dan ook beslist de huidige structuur te behouden en een verdere organische groei na te streven. NOVEMBER 15 november: ASL verwerft luchtvaartlijnen van TNT EXPRESS. Op 15 november hebben ASL Aviation (ASL) en TNT Express NV (TNT Express) een akkoord bereikt voor de overname van 100% van de aandelen van TNT Airways SA (TAY) en Pan Air Lineas Areas SA (PNR). De overdracht is nog voorwaardelijk en is afhankelijk van de afwikkeling van de fusie tussen UPS en TNT Express. DECEMBER 19 december: Nieuwe kredietfaciliteit van 300 miljoen USD voor CMB/BOCIMAR. CMB heeft een niet-achtergestelde hernieuwbare gewaarborgde lening ten belope van 300 miljoen USD ondertekend met DNB Bank ASA, Nordea Bank Norge ASA, Belfius Bank nv/sa, Fortis Bank sa/nv, KFW IPEX-Bank GmbH, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ), ABN Amro Bank N.V., KBC Bank NV en Scotiabank Europe plc. De kredietfaciliteit heeft een looptijd van 6 jaar en één maand aan een interestvoet van LIBOR verhoogd met een marge van 3,00%. Op het niet opgenomen gedeelte van de faciliteit wordt een terbeschikkingstellingsprovisie van 1,00% betaald. Tijdens de termijn van zes jaar zal het geleend bedrag afgebouwd worden tot 140 miljoen USD. Er wordt verwacht dat op het eind van 2012, 219 miljoen USD zal opgenomen zijn. Deze nieuwe lening zal aangewend worden voor de herfinanciering van de uitstaande schuld onder de lening ten belope van 600 miljoen USD van 21 december 2005, de gedeeltelijke financiering van de 6 Samjin nieuwbouwschepen voorzien voor oplevering in 2013 en 2014 en voor algemene corporate doeleinden. Met een overinschrijving van 100% was de plaatsing van de kredietfaciliteit zeer succesvol. 30

21 december: Bocimar vereenvoudigt joint venture in drie bulkschepen. Bocimar beslist samen met haar joint venture partner Boxlog, om hun joint venture in drie bulkschepen te vereenvoudigen. Zo wordt CMB/Bocimar 100% eigenaar van de Lake Dolphin (2011-179.481 dwt) en wordt de Bulk Canada (2012-179.397 dwt) verkocht aan Boxlog. Het derde schip, de Mineral Subic (2011-179.397), blijft uitgebaat worden in joint venture. Op de verkooptransactie werd een verlies van 2,7 miljoen USD gerealiseerd. Volgende gebeurtenissen vonden plaats na balansdatum: Januari 2013 14 januari 2013: Overname TNT Airways gaat niet door. De eerder aangekondigde overname van TNT Airways zal niet gerealiseerd kunnen worden nu de fusie tussen UPS en TNT Express niet doorgaat. TNT Express herbekijkt momenteel haar strategie alsook haar netwerk. ASL sluit niet uit dat zij gezien haar ervaring en expertise hierin een rol kan spelen en kijkt er naar uit om de mogelijkheden van een samenwerking met TNT Express verder te onderzoeken. Februari 2013 22 februari 2013: Mineral Kyushu (2006 180.211 dwt) wordt opgeleverd. Bocimar en haar joint venture partner Drylog verwerven dit schip naar aanleiding van een aankoopverplichting. Dit schip werd eerder op langetermijn ingehuurd.. maart 2013 1 maart 2013: Bocimar annuleert Tsuneishi SC 145. Aangezien de werf de contractuele afleveringsdatum niet kon respecteren, besliste Bocimar de bestelling te annuleren. Alle betaalde voorschotten inclusief een interestvergoeding werden op 11 maart 2013 terugbetaald. 26 maart 2013: Bohandymar bestelt vier bijkomende handysize ECO-type bulkschepen. Bohandymar Limited een 100% dochteronderneming van CMB heeft eerder dit jaar nog vier handysize ECOtype bulkschepen besteld bij Samjin Shipbuilding Industries Korea (Samjin) aan zeer competitieve voorwaarden. De schepen hebben een draagvermogen van 36.000 dwt. De oplevering van de eerste twee eenheden is voorzien voor 2014; de twee overige eenheden zijn gepland voor 2015. Het betreft vier zusterschepen van de zes eenheden die Bocimar in 2011 bestelde. 31

BOCIMAR VLOOT Energiebesparende maatregelen De afgelopen twee jaar heeft Bocimar zich toegelegd op de installatie van energiebesparende maatregelen op haar schepen (zowel deze in eigendom als deze in tijdsbevrachting). Door het brandstofverbruik te beperken doet Bocimar niet alleen de bunkerkosten afnemen, maar neemt tevens de milieubelastende impact van haar vloot af. Dit milieuvriendelijk beleid werd ingevoerd niet alleen voor de bestaande schepen maar ook voor de lopende nieuwbouwprojecten. Het ontwerp van de Handysize bulkschepen dewelke Bocimar momenteel in aanbouw heeft, behoort tot het zogenaamde Eco type. Het Eco type vertegenwoordigt een nieuwe generatie van schepen met momenteel het laagste brandstofverbruik en zijn tevens aangepast aan de huidige en toekomstige maatregelen met betrekking tot het verbranden van zwavelhoudende brandstof in speciale emissie gecontroleerde gebieden. De maatregelen kunnen opgesplitst worden in twee categorieën: technologische en operationele. De belangrijkste technologische maatregelen zijn: De vorm van de romp van de nieuwe Eco type schepen verzekert het laagst mogelijke brandstofverbruik. Ontwerp van de schroef. Brandstofbesparende apparatuur zoals Mewis duct schroef, Propellor Bos Cap Fin, Rudder bulb en Pre swirl stator. Nieuw ontwerp van de hoofdmotor. Systemen om het brandstofverbruik te controleren. Optimalisatie van de trim. Aangroeiwerende verf. Toename van de dikte van het isolatiemateriaal van de bemanningsverblijven. De tien schepen, met een draagvermogen van 36.000 dwt, die Bocimar in bestelling heeft bij Samjin zullen uitgerust zijn met de meeste van hoger vermelde technologische innovaties. In vergelijking met de vorige generatie zal het nieuwe Eco ontwerp een brandstofbesparing van 25% opleveren. Op haar bestaande vloot heeft Bocimar verschillende van de beschikbare technologische innovaties uitgevoerd. De operationele maatregelen bestaan onder andere uit: Goed bunkerbeheer aan boord. Maatregelen om havenoperaties efficiënter te laten verlopen. Routeplanning in functie van de weersomstandigheden en aanpassing van de vaarsnelheid. Optimalisatie van de trim. Beheer van de rompweerstand en regelmatig polijsten van de schroef. De meest efficiënte methoden om brandstof te besparen zijn waarschijnlijk slow en super slow steaming. Het is echter een vrij nieuw initiatief en sommige eigenaars zijn bang de hoofdmotor te beschadigen en van overmatige slijtage aan de hulpmotoren. Bocimar heeft slow of super slow steaming ingevoerd op alle ingecharterde schepen en de meeste van haar schepen in eigendom die op de spotmarkt worden uitgebaat. Bocimar heeft haar beslissing om slow en super slow steaming in te voeren gebaseerd op besprekingen met de bouwers van hoofdmotoren, ervaringen van andere eigenaars en inspecties uitgevoerd op de motoren enkele maanden na de invoering van super slow steaming. Bocimar deelt haar ervaringen met betrekking tot super slow steaming met alle scheepseigenaren die het wensen toe te passen. Bocimar is er van overtuigd dat deze methode niet alleen de brandstofkost substantieel vermindert maar tevens een belangrijke impact heeft op het leefmilieu door een vermindering van de uitstoot van broeikasgassen. 34

BOCIMAR DROGE BULK

100% BOCIMAR International 100% BOCIMAR LUX S.A. 100% BOCIMAR BELGIUM 100% BOCIMAR HONG KONG 100% BOHANDYMAR

Met de wereldwijde economische recessie, de aanhoudende onzekerheid in de Eurozone en de vraagtekens rond de veerkracht van de Chinese economie als achtergrond gingen de droge bulkmarkten door één van de ergste crisissen van de laatste dertig jaar. Na de ongekende boom van de jaren 2003-2005, werd 2012 gekenmerkt door een toevloed aan nieuwbouwschepen. De fundamentele drijvende krachten aan de vraagzijde bleven intact, maar het aanbod was gewoonweg te groot om geabsorbeerd te worden. Bovendien werd dit effect nog versterkt door verstoringen in het aanbod van cargo naar aanleiding van ongunstige weersomstandigheden. Eind 2005 telde de wereldcapesizevloot 650 schepen (+ 100.000 dwt) die samen 110 miljoen dwt vertegenwoordigen. Eind 2012 telt de wereldvloot 1.500 schepen of 279 miljoen dwt. Het wereldzeevervoer groeide in dezelfde periode met meer dan 100 miljoen ton. Hoge brandstofprijzen en lage vrachttarieven werkten bovendien slow steaming in de hand. Tegelijkertijd was 2012 eveneens een recordjaar op het vlak van verschroting; 35 miljoen dwt werd gesloopt. Het onevenwicht tussen het Atlantisch en Pacifisch bekken een fenomeen van de laatste jaren zette zich door in 2012, wat een invloed heeft op de tonmijlen. Maar ondanks de toegenomen verschroting groeide de droge-bulkvloot met 64 miljoen dwt of 10,5% (bron SSY). De groei in wereldzeevervoer, slow steaming en een toename van de tonmijlen konden deze toevloed niet opvangen. De massale instroom aan nieuwe schepen bleef dan ook niet zonder effect op de vrachtenmarkt. De gemiddelde capesizeopbrengsten gemeten op basis van de Cape Baltic 4TC routes bedroeg 7.635 USD/dag, hetzij de helft van 2011. Soms waren de capesize-opbrengsten zelfs negatief. Enkel door over te gaan naar super slow steaming konden negatieve opbrengsten in positieve omgebogen worden; zij het nog steeds onder het niveau van de dagelijkse uitbatingskosten. Bocimar behaalde gemiddeld 7.463 USD/dag op de spotmarkt. De gemiddelde opbrengsten van Bocimar voor 2012 zijn als volgt samen te vatten: USD/dag 2012 capesize 24.868 panamax/postpanamax 10.660 handymax 9.563 handysize 7.713 38

In dit marktsegment met het oudste leeftijdsprofiel werd dankzij verschroting slechts een bescheiden netto-aangroei van 2% opgetekend. Bocimar realiseerde in dit segment een gemiddelde opbrengst van 7.700 USD/dag. In deze barre economische omgeving besteedde Bocimar veel aandacht aan het optimaliseren van haar reisopbrengsten met het invoeren van slow en super slow steaming alsook het doorvoeren van duurzame energiebesparende maatregelen. Het aanbrengen van energiebesparende apparaten, computergestuurde optimalisatie van de ladingstrim, computergestuurde analyse van het brandstofverbruik, weeranalyse van de vaarroute en het toepassen van speciale verftechnieken zijn slechts enkele voorbeelden van de genomen maatregelen. Tegelijkertijd voerde Bocimar ook de praktijk van slow en super slow steaming in op zowel haar eigen schepen alsook indien toegestaan op de door haar ingehuurde schepen. In dit verband werden de nodige investeringen in onderdelen gedaan die schepen toelaten om op 20 à 25% van hun normale belasting te varen; wat resulteert in aanzienlijke brandstofbesparingen. Door de aanhoudende lage vrachtenmarkten zochten verscheidene reders bescherming voor hun schuldeisers of stopten zij hun activiteiten. Zo heeft Bocimar de gevolgen gevoeld van een Japanse en een Chinese reder die voortijdig respectievelijk twee en één jaar een capesize- en handymaxschip terugleverden. Bocimar verwacht geen verdere schadegevallen binnen haar portefeuille aan langetermijn-tijdsbevrachtingsovereenkomsten. Ook de waarden van schepen, zowel nieuw als tweedehands, hadden te lijden onder de lage markten. Bocimar gebruikte dit in haar voordeel door twee nieuwe capesize-eenheden aan te kopen bij Jinhai aan historisch zeer lage prijzen. De schepen kwamen in dienst als Mineral Faith en Mineral Hope. In augustus van 2012 opende Bocimar een nieuw kantoor in Singapore, het snelst groeiende scheepvaartcentrum in de wereld. Van bij de start worden er vijf personen tewerkgesteld. Teneinde voordeel te nemen van het gunstige leeftijdsprofiel van de wereldhandysizevloot alsook als verdere uitbouw van haar eco - type vloot, bestelde Bocimar nog vier bijkomende eenheden van 36.000 dwt bij de Samjin werf in Weihai, China. 39

40

Bocimar is er van overtuigd dat de combinatie van toegenomen verschroting, het sterk afnemend aantal van nog op te leveren nieuwbouwschepen en het sterk verminderde nieuwbouworderboek kan leiden tot een beter evenwicht tussen vraag en aanbod later in 2013 of tijdens de eerste helft van 2014. Bocimar draagt 51.950.000 USD (2011: 107.705.000 USD) bij aan het geconsolideerd resultaat. Deze bijdrage houdt rekening met een meerwaarde van 51.735.000 USD gerealiseerd op de verkoop van aandelen FMG. Na de verkopen gedaan in 2012 heeft Bocimar geen aandelen FMG meer in portefeuille. evolutie vervoerde volumes in miljoen ton 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 2003 * 2004 * 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 steenkool ijzererts graan andere * volume Bocimar & partners geconsolideerde sleutelcijfers in duizenden USD 2012 2011 omzet 368.990 365.967 EBITDA 123.897 182.729 afschrijvingen 97.605 70.436 EBIT (bedrijfsresultaat) 26.292 112.293 financieel resultaat 25.688 6.241 resultaat voor belasting 51.980 106.052 belastingen 30 1.653 resultaat over de periode 51.950 107.705 toerekenbaar aan eigenaars van de moedermaatschappij 51.950 107.705 minderheidsbelangen vaste activa 1.648.349 1.486.725 eigen vermogen 328.203 533.156 schulden op meer dan één jaar 689.384 638.364 41

Met weinig of geen verbetering in de moeilijke werkomstandigheden voor luchtvaartmaatschappijen blijft ASL sterke resultaten neerzetten. De pure luchtvaartactiviteiten (EAP en Air Contractors) binnen Europa blijven succesvol ondanks de aanhoudende moeilijke marktomstandigheden. Bij EAP werd er een toegenomen verschuiving vastgesteld van de passagiers- naar de cargoactiviteit. De zwakke passagiersactiviteit werd ruimschoots opgevangen door een toename van de cargoactiviteit met 16% zowel uitgedrukt in aantal vluchturen als in aantal vervoerde tonnen vracht. Ook de betrouwbaarheid blijft van een zeer hoog en uitzonderlijk niveau. Een gedeelte van de toename is te wijten aan nieuwe contracten binnen de Europese markt voor pakjesdiensten wat de afhankelijkheid van klassieke postcontracten verminderd heeft. Anderzijds werden een aantal contracten met La Poste de belangrijkste klant van EAP in de loop van het jaar verlengd. 2012 2011 totaal aantal vlieguren 33.223 36.406 aantal vlieguren cargo 15.645 13.459 aantal ton vervoerde cargo 75.660 64.940 aantal vlieguren passagiers 17.578 22.947 aantal vervoerde passagiers 660.193 803.711 betrouwbaarheid cargovluchten 99,06% 99,56% De activiteiten van Air Contractors (ACL) hebben in 2012 een verdere evolutie gekend. Daar waar de kernactiviteit van ACL de uitbating van ATR schroefvliegtuigen blijft, werd 2012 gekenmerkt door de opkomst van Boeing 737 als vervanging van de A300 vliegtuigen die stilaan het einde van hun economische levensduur bereiken. De opstart van operaties in Hong Kong voor rekening van één van de belangrijke integrators met dit nieuwere type vliegtuig betekent niet enkel een belangrijke geografische uitbreiding maar is ook een belangrijke stap voor ACL in de uitbating van Boeing 737 vliegtuigen. Betrouwbaarheid blijft één van de belangrijkste troeven van ACL wat duidelijk blijkt uit onderstaande tabel. aantal vliegtuigen 2012 aantal vlieguren betrouwbaarheid aantal vliegtuigen 2011 aantal vlieguren betrouwbaarheid ATR 42 6 5.556 98,90% 5 5.679 98,70% ATR 72 11 8.462 98,20% 11 8.931 98,80% A300 9 8.576 96,90% 12 13.572 96,70% B737 2 2.029 95,20% Safair blijft succesvol een gemengde vloot van Hercules en Boeing vliegtuigen uitbaten hoofdzakelijk in de internationale markt voor voedselhulpbedeling. In de loop van het jaar werden vijf Hercules toestellen, die voorheen ingehuurd werden, aangekocht. Verder werden vier Boeing 737-400 toestellen aangekocht die zullen omgebouwd worden tot vrachtvliegtuigen. Voorts werden drie ATR-toestellen die het einde van hun leasingcontract bereikten, verkocht. Tenslotte werden nog twee oudere A300-B4 toestellen in eigendom uit dienst genomen. 44

Op basis van de langetermijncontracten en de reeds verkochte passagiersvluchten kan ASL 2013 met optimisme tegemoet zien. De voornaamste onzekerheden voor 2013 zijn naast de mogelijke gevolgen van regelgeving binnen de luchtvaartindustrie, brandstofprijzen en wisselkoersen.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 Significant accounting policies 1 Reporting entity CMB (the Company ) is a company domiciled in Belgium. The address of the Company s registered office is De Gerlachekaai 20, 2000 Antwerpen. The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group ) and the Group s interest in associates and jointly controlled entities. 2 Basis of preparation (a) Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by the European Union on 31 December 2012. (b) (c) The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 26 March 2013. Basis of measurement The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the statement of financial position: Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value; Non-derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value; Available for sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Functional and presentation currency The consolidated financial statements are presented in USD, which is the Company s functional and presentation currency. All financial information presented in USD has been rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated. (e) Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk on resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year are included in the following notes: Note 7 Property, plant and equipment; Note 17 Provisions and contingencies; Changes in accounting policies The accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented and for all group entities as included in these consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies and calculation methods adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2012 are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011 except for the change of functional and presentation currency.. As from the financial year 2012 CMB prepares and presents its consolidated accounts in USD. This change of reporting currency is a consequence of CMB - as parent company - changing its functional currency for its statutory accounts from EUR to USD. The Company has received regulatory approval to use the USD as its functional currency as the company itself is now operating vessels. The functional currency on international shipping markets is the USD which means that assets (vessels) and related debts, receivables and loans are expressed in USD. Furthermore, management was of the opinion that using the USD as a reporting currency enhances the presentation of its financial statements as the better part of the business of the Group is carried out in a USD environment. The comparable figures for 2011 have been converted on the basis of an exchange rate of EUR 1 = USD 1,4035 for all income and cash flow statement related elements. All comparable balance sheet items have been converted at an exchange rate of EUR 1 = USD 1,2939. (d) Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which are the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes: Note 7 Property, plant and equipment; Note 20 Operating leases. (f) (i) A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have become effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2012. These have had no material impact to CMB s consolidated financial statements. Basis of consolidation Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable. For acquisitions on or after 1 January 2010, the Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as: the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquire ; less the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. 10

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 Significant accounting policies (continued) (ii) (iii) (iv) When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts generally are recognised in profit or loss. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. Any contingent consideration payable is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss. Acquisitions of non-controlling interests Acquisitions on non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners and therefore no goodwill is recognised as a result. Adjustments to non-controlling interests arising from transactions that do not involve the loss of control are based on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary. Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are those entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Loss of control On the loss of control, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as an available-for-sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained. (vi) (vii) (g) (i) When the Group s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of the investment, including any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred obligations or has made payments in respect of the investee. Jointly controlled entities Jointly controlled entities are those entities over whose activities the Group has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions. The consolidated financial statements include the Group s proportionate share of the entities assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses with items of a similar nature on a line-by-line basis, from the date that joint control commences until the date that joint control ceases. Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intragroup balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Foreign currency Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. The currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss, except for the following differences which are recognised in other comprehensive income arising on the retranslation of: Available-for-sale equity investments (except on impairment in which case foreign currency differences that have been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss). (v) Investments in associates (equity accounted investees) Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity. The Group s investment includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. The consolidated financial statements include the Group s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity-accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. (ii) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to USD at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to USD at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. 11

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 Significant accounting policies (continued) (h) (i) Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (translation reserve) in equity. However, if the foreign operation is a non-wholly owned subsidiary, than the relevant proportion of the translation difference is allocated to non-controlling interests. When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss. Financial instruments Non-derivative financial assets The Group initially recognises loans and receivables on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets (including assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in such transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models refined to reflect the issuer s specific circumstances. The Group classifies non-derivative financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity financial assets and available-for-sale financial assets. The Company determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss A financial asset is classified as at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial assets are designated as at fair value through profit or loss if the Group manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Group s documented risk management or investment strategy. Attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and changes therein, which takes into account any dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss comprise equity securities that otherwise would have been classified as available for sale. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are expected to be realised within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in trade and other receivables in the balance sheet. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, and are used by the Group in the management of its short-term commitments. Held-to-maturity investments If the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold debt securities to maturity, then such financial assets are classified as held-to-maturity. Heldto-maturity financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, heldto-maturity financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.. Held-to-maturity financial assets comprise debentures. Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. Available-for-sale financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign currency differences on available-for-sale debt instruments, are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the fair value reserve in equity. When an investment is derecognised, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss. Available-for-sale financial assets comprise equity securities and debt securities. 12

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 Significant accounting policies (continued) (ii) They are included in non-current assets unless the Company intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Non-derivative financial liabilities The Group initially recognises debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are originated. All other financial liabilities (including liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire. The Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities category. Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Other financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, bank overdrafts, and trade and other payables. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows. in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items attributable to the hedged risk, and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80-125 percent. For a cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction, the transaction should be highly probable to occur and should present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect reported profit or loss. Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, all derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as follows: Cash flow hedges When a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity. The amount recognised in other comprehensive income is removed and included in profit or loss in the same period as the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss under the same line item in the statement of comprehensive income as the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss. (iii) Share capital Ordinary and Preference share capital Ordinary share capital is classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Repurchase of share capital When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognised as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and presented in the reserve for own shares. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognised as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is presented in share premium. When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount accumulated in equity is included in the carrying amount of the asset when the asset is recognised. In other cases, the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss in the same period that the hedged item affects profit or loss.. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated, exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the balance in equity is reclassified to profit or loss. Other non-trading derivatives When a derivative financial instrument is not designated in a hedge relationship that qualifies for hedge accounting, all changes in its fair value are recognised immediately in profit or loss. (iv) Derivative financial instruments The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to market fluctuations, foreign currency and interest rate risks arising from operational, financing and investment activities. On initial designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument(s) and hedged item(s), including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction and the hedged risk, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Group makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments are expected to be highly effective in offsetting the changes (i) (i) Intangible assets Goodwill Goodwill represents amounts arising on an acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. For the measurement of goodwill at initial recognition, see note (f)(i). Goodwill is recognised as an asset and initially at its cost. After initial recognition goodwill shall be remeasured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses (refer accounting policy (l)). In respect of equity accounted investees, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment, and any impairment loss is allocated to the carrying amount of the equity accounted investee as a whole. 13

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 Significant accounting policies (continued) (ii) (iii) (iv) Other intangible assets Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses (see accounting policy (l)). The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a separate acquisition is the cash paid or the fair value of any other consideration given. The cost of an internally generated intangible asset includes the directly attributable expenditure of preparing the asset for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates and its cost can be measured reliably. All other expenditure is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Amortisation Except for goodwill, intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible asset as from the date they are available for use. The estimated useful life is as follows: software 3 5 years (ii) (iii) Leased assets Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. On initial recognition plant and equipment acquired by way of finance lease is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Other leases are operating leases and are not recognised in the Group s statement of financial position. Investment property Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. As such, the rules as described in accounting policy note (j) Vessels, property, plant and equipment apply. Rental income from investment property is accounted for as described in accounting policy (p(iii)). (j) (i) Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. Vessels, property, plant and equipment Owned assets Vessels, aircraft and items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost or fair value at the date of acquisition (when acquired as part of a business combination) less accumulated depreciation (see below) and accumulated impairment losses (refer accounting policy (l)) if any. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property. The cost of self-constructed investment property includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the investment property to a working condition for their intended use and capitalised borrowing costs. Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in profit or loss. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the following: The cost of materials and direct labour; Any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for their intended use; When the Group has an obligation to remove the asset or restore the site, an estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located; and Capitalised borrowing costs. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. Where an item of property, plant and equipment comprises major components having different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment (see also (viii) Depreciation). Gains and losses on disposal of a vessel, aircraft or of another item of property, plant and equipment are determined by the difference of the proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the vessel or the item of property, plant and equipment and are recognised in profit or loss. For the sale of vessels and aircraft, transfer of risk and rewards usually occurs upon delivery of the vessel or aircraft to the new owner. (iv) (v) (vi) Assets under construction Assets under construction, especially newbuilding vessels, are accounted for in accordance with the stage of completion of the newbuilding contract. Typical stages of completion are the milestones that are usually part of a newbuilding contract: signing or receipt of refund guarantee, steel cutting, keel laying, launching and delivery. All stages of completion are guaranteed by a refund guarantee provided by the shipyard. Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other expenditure is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. Ongoing repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. 14

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 Significant accounting policies (continued) (vii) Depreciation Vessels and items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis in profit or loss over the estimated useful lives of each component. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated. Vessels and items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated from the date that they are installed and are ready for use, in respect of internally constructed assets, from the date that the asset is completed and ready for use. The estimated maximum useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows: bulk vessels 20 years tankers 20 years buildings 33 years plant and equipment 5-20 years office equipment and vehicles 5-10 years other tangible assets 3-20 years. Aircraft are depreciated on a component basis. The components are aircraft specific but typically include the airframe, engines, landing gear and major overhaul and inspection modules. Engines, landing gear and major overhaul and inspection items are depreciated over the period of the maintenance interval to estimated residual core value which does not exceed 8 years. Airframes are depreciated over a period from 4 to 22 years depending on the age of the aircraft at acquisition. result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that loss event(s) had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably. Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers, economic conditions that correlate with defaults or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is objective evidence of impairment. Financial assets measured at amortised cost The Group considers evidence of impairment for financial assets measured at amortised cost (loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investment securities) at both a specific asset and collective level. All individually significant assets are assessed for specific impairment. Those found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. Assets that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. In assessing collective impairment, the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management s judgement as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends. (k) (l) (i) Aircraft which are leased out on longer term operating leases that provide for minimum return conditions at the end of the lease are depreciated as a single component to estimated residual value over the lease term. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. Furthermore, the Board of Directors can decide to record an additional and irreversible depreciation on surplus prices paid for assets as a consequence of extreme circumstances. In such case, the decision of the Board of Directors shall be disclosed in a separate note to the consolidated accounts. Inventories Inventories of spare parts and consumables are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in firstout principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. Impairment Non-derivative financial assets A financial asset not classified as at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against loans and receivables or held-tomaturity investment securities. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised. When an event occurring after the impairment was recognised causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. Available-for-sale financial assets Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognised by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the fair value reserve in equity to profit or loss. The cumulative loss that is reclassified from equity to profit or loss is the difference between the acquisition cost, net of any principal repayment and amortisation, and the current fair value, less any impairment loss recognised previously in profit or loss. Changes in cumulative impairment losses attributable to the application of the effective interest method are reflected as a component of interest income. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale debt security increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, then the impairment loss is reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognised in profit or loss. However, any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognised in other comprehensive income. 15

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 Significant accounting policies (continued) (ii) (m) Non-financial asset The carrying amounts of the Group s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets (refer accounting policy (t)), are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually for impairment. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its fair value less cost to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. Future cash flows are based on current market conditions, historical trends as well as future expectations. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGU s. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, CGU s to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGU s that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGU s are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGU s), and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGU s) on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill shall not be reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Details on the determination of the CGUs by segment are disclosed in Note 7 Property, plant and equipment. Assets held for sale Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use are classified as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets, or components of a disposal group, are remeasured in accordance with the Group s accounting policies. Thereafter generally the assets or disposal group are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets, employee benefit assets or investment property, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Group s accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss. (n) (i) (ii) Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated, and any equity-accounted investee is no longer equity accounted Employee benefits Defined contribution plans A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which related services are rendered by employees. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. Contributions to a defined contribution plan that are due more than 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the services are discounted to their present value Defined benefit plans A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine the present value. Any unrecognised past service cost and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at reporting date on AA credit rated bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group s obligations and that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid. The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. Where the calculation results in a benefit to the Group, the recognised asset is limited to the total of any unrecognised past service costs and the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Group. An economic benefit is available to the Group if it is realisable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities. When the benefits of a plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. To the extent that the benefits vest immediately, the expense is recognised immediately in profit or loss. All actuarial gains and losses arising from defined benefit plans and all expenses related to defined benefit plans are immediately recognised in profit or loss. The Group recognises gains and losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan when the curtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on curtailment or settlement comprises any resulting change in the fair value of plan assets, any change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation, any related actuarial gains and losses and past service cost that had not previously been recognised. 16

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 Significant accounting policies (continued) (iii) (iv) (v) (o) Other long term employee benefits The Group s net obligation in respect of long-term service benefits, other than pension plans, is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The obligation is calculated using the projected unit credit method and is discounted to its present value and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on AA credit rated bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group s obligations and that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid. Any actuarial gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.. Termination benefits Termination benefits are recognised as an expense when the Group is demonstrably committed, without realistic possibility or withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognised as an expense if the Group has made an offer of voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefits are payable more than 12 months after the reporting date, then they are discounted to their present value. Short-term employee benefit Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions A provision is recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, as result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. The provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. Restructuring A provision for restructuring is recognised when the Group has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, and the restructuring has either commenced or has been announced publicly. Future operating costs are not provided for. (p) (i) (ii) (iii) (q) Revenue Goods sold and services rendered Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of trade discounts. Revenue is recognised when persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognised as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognised The timing of the transfers of risk and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreement. For the sale of vessels and aircraft, transfer usually occurs upon delivery of the vessel or aircraft to the new owner. Service Revenue from services rendered is recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion of spot voyages is assessed by reference to the percentage of the estimated duration of the voyage completed at the reporting date. Revenue from time charters and bareboat charters is recognised on a daily basis over the term of the charter. No revenue is recognised if there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods. Rental income Rental income from investment property is recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease. Rental income from other property is recognised as other income. Rental income form the leasing of aircraft under operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Gain on disposal of vessels Losses on disposal of vessels In view of its importance the Group reports capital gains and losses on the sale of vessels as a separate line item in the income statement. Whenever a vessel is sold it is treated as an asset held for sale as from the moment of receipt of the customary deposit and accounted for in accordance with accounting policy (m). Onerous contracts A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract. (r) Leases Lease payments Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease. 17

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 Significant accounting policies (continued) (s) (t) Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant period rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance income and finance cost Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions and deferred consideration, losses on disposal of available-for-sale financial assets, fair value losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, impairment losses recognised on financial assets (other than trade receivables), losses on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss and reclassifications of amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income. Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested (including available-for-sale financial assets), dividend income, gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets, fair value gains on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, gains on the remeasurement to fair value of any pre-existing interest in an acquire, gains on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss and reclassifications of amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and foreign exchange gains. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date that the Group s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally the ex-dividend date. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis as either finance income or finance cost depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position. Income tax Tax expenses comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly to equity or in other comprehensive income. (u) Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they arise, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date. In determining the amount of current and deferred tax the Company takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. The Company believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations of tax law and prior experience. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgements about future events. New information may become available that causes the Company to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax asset and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. In application of an IFRIC agenda decision on IAS 12 Income taxes, tonnage tax is not accounted for as income taxes in accordance with IAS 12 and is not presented as part of income tax expense in the income statement but is shown as a separate line item under the heading Other operating expenses (Note 4). Segment reporting A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments. The business segments of the CMB group are: Bocimar (dry bulk), ASL Aviation (Aviation) and Other activities. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax payable also includes any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for: Taxable temporary differences arising on initial recognition of goodwill; Temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; Temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. (v) Segment results that are reported to the CEO only include items directly attributable to a segment.. Discontinued operations A discontinued operation is a component of the Group s business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations that has been disposed of or is held for sale, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of comprehensive income is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year. 18

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 Significant accounting policies (continued) (w) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations - as listed below - are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. CMB will not early adopt these standards. Amendments to IAS 12 Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income IFRS 9 Financial Instruments IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities IFRS 13 Fair value Measurement IAS 19 Employee Benefits (amended 2011) IAS 27 Separated financial instruments (2011) IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011) None of these is expected to have a material impact on CMB s consolidated financial statements, except for IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, that becomes mandatory for the Group s 2013 consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 11 on its consolidated financial statements. The Group currently applies the proportionate consolidation method for its Jointly Controlled Entities, (some of) which are believed to classify as Joint Ventures under IFRS 11 for which equity accounting will need to be applied. Although it is expected that this will not affect the result for the period, the application of IFRS 11 is more than likely to affect most of the main line items in CMB s consolidated financial statements, notably decreasing non-current assets outstanding debt, revenue and expenses to the extent that these are currently related to the Group s Jointly Controlled Entities. 19

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 Note 1 - Segment reporting The Group distinguishes 3 reportable segments: Bocimar, ASL Aviation and Other activities. The Bocimar segment is comprised of all of CMB s subsidiaries, associates and joint-ventures that are active in dry bulk shipping; i.e. mainly CMB s dry bulk activity, Bocimar International and Bocimar Hong Kong. The ASL Aviation segment comprises all of CMB s interests in the aviation industry; i.e. the participating interest in ASL Aviation and its subsidiaries and joint-ventures. The segment Other activities is made up of all other participating interests and/or subsidiaries and joint-ventures that have activities that are not directly related to any of the two other areas of activity. The performance of the individual segments is measured on the basis of contribution to the consolidated result.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 Note 7 - Property, plant and equipment (continued) Impairment Bocimar In recent years the dry bulk markets - especially the capesize market - have been characterised by high volatility and declining asset values as a consequence of the huge number of newbuilding deliveries. Based on a current valuation - as prepared by two independent shipping brokers - the carrying value of the fleet as per 31 December 2012 exceeds the market value by USD 559 million. Management considered the foregoing as an indicator of possible impairment following which an impairment test was performed. The impairment test calculates what level of income - expressed as a rate in USD/day - is needed for the remaining life of the respective cash generating units to arrive at a recoverable amount equalling the bookvalue of the assets concerned. The calculated rate is benchmarked against 10 year historical average freight rates on both the spot and timecharter markets. The company distinguishes four cash generating units, i.e. Capesize, Post Panamax, Handymax and Handysize. Other assumptions used in calculating the value in use are: - a WACC (weighted average cost of capital) of 10,31% in line with industry wide used percentages (currently ranging between 9,40% and 10,30%), - indexation of operating expenses of 2,5% per year, - a maximum useful life of 20 years with no residual value. Management is of the opinion that the assumptions used are reasonable and appropriate. However, such assumptions remain highly subjective. The impairment test - as performed on 31 December 2012 - did not result in any need to record an impairment loss in the 2012 consolidated accounts. ASL Aviation As per 31 December 2012 there were no indications of impairment in respect of the aircraft fleet.

The amount of Other provisions mainly represents the provision for maintenance on leased-in aircraft for which the Group has a present obligation to carry out the maintenance works. Contingencies Several Group companies are involved in a number of disputes in connection with their day-to-day activities, both as claimant and defendant. Such disputes and the associated expenses of legal representation are generally covered by insurance. Moreover, they are not of a magnitude that lies outside the ordinary, and their scope is not of such a nature that they could jeopardise the Group s financial position. In March 2006 Hessenatie Logistics commenced arbitration proceedings against Sanoma Magazines Belgium in respect of the unilateral termination of a co-operation agreement between the parties. During 2010 hearings were held in April and September. In its decision of 9 November 2011 the Arbitral Tribunal decided that Sanoma Magazines Belgium had rightfully terminated the co-operation agreement. On 26 September 2012 the Arbitral Tribunal decided to appoint an expert to examine the damage claims. The expert has yet to start his consultations and investigations. Based on the foregoing, no reliable estimate of a possible economic outflow can be determined. Hence no provision is recognised. 38

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 Note 19 - Financial instruments - Market and other risks In the course of its normal business, the Group is exposed to market, credit, liquidity, interest rate and currency risks. The Group uses various derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in market rates, exchange rates and interest rates. Market risk The Group uses Forward Freight Agreements (FFAs) to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in the dry bulk shipping markets. The current hedging portfolio is considered as a freestanding instrument meaning that at each balance sheet date, the Group remeasures the fair value of these instruments and recognises any resulting adjustment in net profit or loss for the period. The impact of the current FFA portfolio on the statement of financial position can be summarised as follows: in thousands of USD 2012 hedge trading total Cash and cash equivalents - -73-73 Trade and other receivables - - - Trade and other payables - -1.426-1.426 Net fair value - -1.499-1.499 Recognised in profit or loss - -1.537-1.537 Recognised as translation difference - - - Recognised in retained earnings - 38 38 Recognised directly in equity - - - The impact on the income statement can be summarised as follows: in thousands of USD 2012 Income/(Expenses 2.003 Fair value adjustment -1.537 Total 466 Sensitivity analysis A USD 1.000/day change in the FFA rate as at 31 December 2012 would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2010. Effect on profit or loss of a USD 1.000/day Effect on equity of a USD 1.000/day in thousands of USD increase decrease increase decrease 2011 Cash flow sensitivity (net) -9 9 - - 2012 Cash flow sensitivity (net) -122-309 - - Credit risk The Group has no formal credit policy. Credit evaluations - when necessary - are performed on an ongoing basis. At the balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset, including derivative financial instruments, in the balance sheet. The majority of derivate financial instruments are cleared on a daily basis and represent as such little or no credit risk. The ageing of trade and other receivables is as follows: in thousands of USD 2012 2011 Not past due 145.656 92.920 Past due 0-30 days 6.727 3.309 Past due 31-365 days 10.145 5.579 More than one year 263 89 Total 162.791 101.897 Past due amounts are not impaired when collection is still considered to be likely, for instance if management is confident the outstanding amounts can be recovered. 40

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 Note 19 - Financial instruments - Market and other risks (continued) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group s reputation. The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments: Non derivative financial liabilities in thousands of USD Bank Bank loans Other loans overdraft and Trade and commercial other payables paper More than 5 years 229.059 - - - Between 1 and 5 years 607.081 3.550 - - Less than 1 year 125.306 11.747-266.307 At 31 December 2011 961.446 15.297-266.307 Bank loans Other loans Bank overdraft and Trade and commercial other payables paper More than 5 years 376.230 - - 5.056 Between 1 and 5 years 554.446 3.626-68.818 Less than 1 year 172.559-36.035 168.838 At 31 December 2012 1.103.235 3.626 36.035 242.712 Derivative financial liabilities in thousands of USD Forward freight agreements Interest rate swaps Forward exchange contracts More than 5 years - - - Between 1 and 5 years - - - Less than 1 year 19 5.579 110 At 31 December 2011 19 5.579 110 Forward freight agreements Interest rate swaps Forward exchange contracts More than 5 years - - - Between 1 and 5 years - - - Less than 1 year 1.426 5.137 95 At 31 December 2012 1.426 5.137 95 Interest rate risk The Group hedges part of its exposure to changes in interest rates on borrowings. All borrowings contracted for the financing of vessels are on the basis of a floating interest rate, increased by a margin. The Group uses various interest rate related derivatives (IRS, caps and floors) to achieve an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate exposure as defined by the Group. The interest related derivatives have maturity dates up to 2014. At 31 December 2012, the Group had hedged USD 225.443.000 (2011: USD 203.820.000) of its outstanding debt by means of interest related derivatives that are classified as freestanding financial instruments. At each closing date, these interest related derivatives are remeasured to fair value with any adjustment recognised in net profit or loss for the period. The Group has also entered into a series of Interest Rate Swaps (IRSs) to cover the floating interest rate risk on its shipping related debt. These IRSs are used to hedge the risk related to any fluctuation of the Libor rate and qualify for hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge relationship under IAS 39. These instruments are measured at their fair value; effective changes in fair value are recognised in equity and the ineffective changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. These IRSs have durations of up to 5 years. As per 31 December 2012 there is only 1 IRS left that will expire in 2014, as such this IRS is expected to occur and affect profit or loss till its expiry date in 2014. As per 31 December 2012, USD 24.350.000 (2011: USD 48.934.000) of the outstanding shipping debt is covered by these IRS. 41

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 Note 19 - Financial instruments - Market and other risks (continued) The Group, through one of its JV companies in connection to real estate, has also concluded an Interest Rate Swap. This IRS is used to hedge the risk related to any fluctuation of the Euribor rate and qualifies for hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge relationship under IAS 39. The instrument is measured at its fair value; effective changes in fair value are recognised in equity and the ineffective changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. The IRS has a duration of 5 years. As such the cash flows from this IRS are expected to occur and affect profit or loss as from 2010 throughout 2014. As per 31 December 2012 the outstanding debt covered by this IRS amounts to EUR 3.960.000 (2011: EUR 4.620.000). The impact of the current portfolio of interest related derivatives on the statement of financial position can be summarised as follows: in thousands of USD 2012 hedge trading total Financial assets -378 - -378 Cash and cash equivalents... - - - Trade and other receivables - - - Trade and other payables -1.722-2.915-4.637 Net fair value -2.100-2.915-5.015 Recognised in profit or loss 252 2.837 3.089 Recognised as translation difference - -2-2 Recognised in retained earnings -971-5.750-6.721 Recognised directly in equity -1.381 - -1.381 The impact on the income statement can be summarised as follows: in thousands of USD 2012 Income/(Expenses -4.717 Fair value adjustment 3.089 Total -1.628 At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Group s interest-bearing financial liabilities was: Carrying amount in thousands of USD 2012 2011 Fixed rate instruments 49.933 58.509 Variable rate instruments 884.125 759.037 Total 934.058 817.546 Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and the Group does not designate derivatives (interest rate swaps) as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model. Therefore a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss nor equity. Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments A change of 50 basis points (bp) in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2011.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 Note 19 - Financial instruments - Market and other risks (continued) Currency risk The Group s exposure to currency risk is rather limited. In Bocimar - the Group s most important subsidiary - the major part of income and expenses are expressed in USD. EAP - the French subsidiary active in aviation - has covered nearly 80% of its USD needs, mainly leasing and planned maintenance expenses, for the year 2013. It concerns an amount of USD 7.775.000 (Group s share of 51%) or EUR 5.893.000. The Group considers these forward exchange contracts as freestanding financial instruments. At each closing date, these contracts are remeasured to fair value with any adjustment recognised in net profit or loss for the period. For the remainder, the Group s currency risk is - to a large extent - limited to a translation risk and to EUR exposure on the overheads of the parent company. The impact of the current portfolio of FX related derivatives on the statement of financial position can be summarised as follows: in thousands of USD 2012 hedge trading total Cash and cash equivalents - - - Trade and other receivables - 2 2 Trade and other payables - -95-95 Net fair value - -93-93 Recognised in profit or loss - -851-851 Recognised as translation difference - -4-4 Recognised in retained earnings - 762 762 Recognised directly in equity - - - The impact on the income statement can be summarised as follows: in thousands of USD 2012 Income/(Expenses) - Fair value adjustment -851 Total -851 Sensitivity analysis A 10 percent strengthening of the EUR against the USD at 31 December 2012 would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2011. in thousands of USD 2012 2011 Equity 7.449 6.730 Profit or loss 1.581 2.244 A 10 percent weakening of the EUR against the USD at 31 December 2012 would have had the equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant. Capital management CMB is continuously optimising its capital structure (mix between debt and equity). The main objective is to maximise shareholder value while keeping the desired financial flexibility to execute the strategic projects. Some of the company s other key drivers when making capital structure decisions are pay-out restrictions and the maintenance of the strong financial health of the Company. Besides the statutory minimum equity funding requirements that apply to the Group s subsidiaries in the various countries, the Company is also subject to covenants in relation to some of its secured credit facilities in respect of shipping loans. These covenants are: cash and cash equivalents shall at all times be greater than USD 30 million; current assets minus current liabilities shall not be less than USD 0 and the ratio of equity to total assets has to be no less than 30% at all times. When analysing the Company s capital structure, the same debt/equity classification as applied in the IFRS reporting is used. 43

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 Note 19 - Financial instruments - Market and other risks (continued) The following summarises the significant methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments used throughout the notes. Investments in equity and debt securities The fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets is determined by reference to their quoted closing bid price at the reporting date. The fair value of held-to-maturity investments is determined for disclosure purposes only. Derivatives The fair value of FFAs is calculated by reference to the market prices - obtained from brokers or clearing houses - valid at the reporting date. The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on broker quotes and on commonly used valuation techniques based on market inputs from reliable providers of financial information. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on information provided by the financial institution with whom the contracts have been concluded. Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the Group entity and counterparty when appropriate. Non-derivative financial liabilities Fair value is equal to the carrying amounts. Trade and other receivables Fair value is equal to the carrying amount. 45

This report includes our report on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, as defined below, as well as our report on other legal and regulatory requirements. Report on the consolidated financial statements We have audited the consolidated financial statements of CMB SA ( the company ) and its subsidiaries (jointly the group ), prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union, and with the legal and regulatory requirements applicable in Belgium. These consolidated financial statements comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012 and the consolidated income statement and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. The total of the consolidated statement of financial position amounts to USD 2.283.716K and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income shows a profit for the year of USD 37.694K. Board of directors responsibility for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union, and with the legal and regulatory requirements applicable in Belgium, and for such internal control as the board of directors determines, is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Statutory auditor s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the statutory auditor s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the statutory auditor considers internal control relevant to the group s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the group s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the board of directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We have obtained from the company s officials and the board of directors the explanations and information necessary for performing our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our unqualified opinion. Unqualified Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group s equity and consolidated financial position as at December 31, 2012 and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union and with the legal and regulatory requirements applicable in Belgium. Report on other legal and regulatory requirements The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and the content of the annual report on the consolidated financial statements. In the framework of our mandate our responsibility is, in all material aspects, to verify compliance with certain legal and regulatory requirements. On this basis, we provide the following additional comment which does not modify our opinion on the consolidated financial statements: The annual report on the consolidated financial statements includes the information required by law, is consistent, in all material aspects, with the consolidated financial statements and does not present any material inconsistencies with the information that we became aware of during the performance of our mandate.
