INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

The following documents, which have been filed by the

•
the International Financial Reporting Standards financial information contained in Exhibit 99.1 of the Current Report on Form 6-K furnished to the Commission on May 11, 2016; and
•
The description of the ordinary shares and ADSs contained in the registration statement on Form 8-A (File No. 001-36515), filed with the Commission on June 20, 2014 pursuant to Section 12(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such description.
In addition, all documents filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this registration
statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this

provisions. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for the purposes of this registration statement to the extent that a statement contained
herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or

Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under Belgian law, the directors of a company may be liable
for damages to the company in case of improper performance of their duties. The registrant's directors may be liable to the registrant and to third parties for infringement of the registrant's articles of association or Belgian company
law. Under certain circumstances, directors may be criminally liable. The registrant maintains liability insurance for the benefit of its directors and senior management.
- 1 -
In order to provide enhanced liability protection for its directors and to attract and retain highly qualified
individuals to act as directors, in connection with this offering, the registrant's board of directors intends to approve the undertaking to indemnify each current and future member of the board of directors to the maximum extent permitted by
law, except if the liability or expense is covered by insurance taken by the registrant or if the liability of a director would arise out of such director's fraud or willful misconduct.
In the underwriting agreement related to the initial public offering, the underwriters have agreed to indemnify, under certain conditions, the registrant, its
directors and officers and persons who control the registrant within the meaning of the Securities Act, against certain liabilities.
Item 7.
Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits.
A list of exhibits filed with this registration statement is set forth in the Exhibit Index
hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
- 2 -
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act), that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
- 3 -

of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in Leuven, Belgium on July 8, 2016.
