CONVENING NOTICE TO the EXTRAORDINARY shareholders' meeting to be held on 2 JUNE 2015

The board of directors of TiGenix NV (the "Company") is pleased to invite you to the extraordinary shareholders' meeting of the Company that will be held at the registered office of the Company (Romeinse straat 12 box 2, 3001 Leuven) on 2 June 2015 at 2:00 p.m., in the presence of a notary, with the agenda and proposed resolutions set out below.

This meeting can validly discuss and resolve on the items on the agenda irrespective of the number of shares present or represented. A first extraordinary shareholders' meeting, held on 20 April 2015 at 10:00 a.m., could not validly discuss these agenda items because the legally required attendance quorum was not reached. Said meeting of 20 April 2015 could validly discuss twelve other items that were on the agenda of the 20 April 2015 meeting and for which no minimum attendance quorum was required. These twelve agenda items are not repeated below, as they have already been validly discussed and decided on.

Agenda and proposed resolutions

  1. Modification of Article 27 ("Annual, extraordinary and special shareholders' meeting") of the articles of association

            Proposed resolution: The shareholders' meeting resolves to replace the first paragraph of Article 27 of the articles of association as follows:

                        "The annual shareholders' meeting is held each year on the first Thursday of June at 2.00 p.m. If this day is not a working day, the meeting shall be held on the next working day. A working day is any day except a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in Belgium."

  1. Power of attorney for the coordination of the articles of association

            Proposed resolution: The shareholders' meeting resolves to grant to each director of the Company, acting individually, the power to draw up the coordination of the articles of association.
