Anti take-over measures
The anti-takeover measures consist of the possibility to issue preference shares, priority shares A and priority shares B. These shares are all registered shares. The priority shares A must be fully paid up; the preference shares and priority shares B must be paid up for 25%. The authorized share capital provides for the issue of preference and priority shares up to 50% of the issued share capital.
The 10 priority shares A in issue are held by the Foundation for the holding of priority shares in the public limited liability company Wereldhave N.V. [Stichting tot het houden van prioriteitsaandelen van de naamloze vennootschap: Wereldhave N.V.]. The board of the foundation is comprised of the members of the Board of Management and the members of the Supervisory Board. In addition to the profit rights, the determination of the number of members of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board of the company and the binding nomination for their appointment are the most important rights connected to the priority shares A and B. Other than with the consent of the holders of priority shares, the General Meeting of Shareholders can only take the decision to dismiss or suspend board members with two-third of the votes cast, representing more than half of the issued share capital.
The objective of the Foundation for the holding of Preference and Priority shares B Wereldhave [Stichting tot het houden van Preferente en Prioriteitsaandelen B Wereldhave], in accordance with article 2 paragraph 1 of its articles of association, is to promote the interests of Wereldhave, of the companies affiliated to Wereldhave and all stakeholders, whereby the foundation also takes into account maintaining the independence, continuity and identity of the Company. The Board of the Foundation is comprised of Messrs. P. Bouw (Chairman), M.W. den Boogert and R. de Jong. The foundation does not hold any shares in Wereldhave at present.
