DETERMINATION THAT THE LEGAL MERGER FORMALITIES HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH

The chairman declares the following:

The report of the statutory auditor contains conclusions taken verbatim below:

“We have analyzed the draft proposal for merger through acquisition, drafted by the Boards of Directors of Materialise NV and Ailanthus NV, which relates to the merger by acquisition of Ailanthus NV by Materialise NV. This transaction will take effect from an accounting point of view on 31 December 2020 at 0h00. The transaction is realized on the basis of an exchange ratio, whereby 13,428,699 shares of Materialise NV are granted for 58,320 shares of Ailanthus NV. The contemplated merger is compensated by the issuance of 13,428,688 new ordinary shares of Materialise NV, during the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting which decides about the merger.

The companies involved are valued in an identical manner, and more in particular, on the basis of the average stock value of the share Materialise NV (in a one on one ratio represented by American Depositary Shares) on the NASDAQ stock exchange during a period of 30 calendar days from 27 October 2020 until 25 November 2020, included. This method has resulted in a value of respectively 1,816,187,530 EUR for Materialise NV and 450,237,220 EUR for Ailanthus NV.

The exchange ratio has been determined by the proportion of the value of one share of either of the companies, i.e. 33.53 EUR for Materialise NV and 7,720.12 EUR for Ailanthus NV.

As a conclusion of the activities carried out by us, in accordance with the professional standards applicable in Belgium and more in particular the standard in relation to the control of merger and demerger transactions of companies, we are of the opinion that the exchange ratio is relevant and reasonable, on the condition that at the moment of the contemplated merger as included in the merger proposal, and which the Boards of Directors have taken into account upon determination of the exchange ratio, the conditions precedent will have been fulfilled, i.e.

Lastly, we wish to remind that our assignment does not consist of formulating an opinion on the legality and fairness of the transaction, or, in other words, that our report is not a “fairness opinion”.

This report has been drafted in execution of art. 12:26 of the Code of Companies and Associations and is exclusively intended for the shareholders and only in the framework of the contemplated merger, as described above, and may not be used for other purposes.
