24.3 Resolutions of the Supervisory Board shall be passed, irrespective of whether this occurs at a meeting or otherwise, by Simple Majority unless the Supervisory Board Rules provide differently.

24.4 Invalid votes, blank votes and abstentions shall not be counted as votes cast. Supervisory Directors who casted an invalid or blank vote or who abstained from voting shall be taken into account when determining the number of Supervisory Directors who are present or represented at a meeting of the Supervisory Board.

24.5 Where there is a tie in any vote of the Supervisory Board, the Chairman shall have a casting vote, provided that there are at least three Supervisory Directors in office. Otherwise, the relevant resolution shall not have been passed in case of a tied vote.

24.6 A Supervisory Director shall not participate in the deliberations and decision-making of the Supervisory Board on a matter in relation to which he has a direct or indirect personal interest which conflicts with the interests of the Company and of the business connected with it. If, as a result thereof, no resolution can be passed by the Supervisory Board, the resolution may nevertheless be passed by the Supervisory Board as if none of the Supervisory Directors has a conflict of interests as described in the previous sentence. A conflict of interests as described in this Article 24.6 shall not be considered to exist by reason only of a Supervisory Director’s affiliation with a direct or indirect shareholder of the Company.

24.7 Subject to the provisions of the Supervisory Board Rules, meetings of the Supervisory Board can be held through audio-communication facilities, unless a Supervisory Director objects thereto.

24.8 Subject to the provisions of the Supervisory Board Rules, resolutions of the Supervisory Board may, instead of at a meeting, be passed in writing, provided that all Supervisory Directors are familiar with the resolution to be passed and none of them objects to this decision-making process. Articles 24.1 through 24.6 apply mutatis mutandis.

GENERAL MEETING - EXERCISE OF MEETING AND VOTING RIGHTS

Article 29

29.1 Each Person with Meeting Rights has the right to attend, address and, if applicable, vote at General Meetings, whether in person or represented by the holder of a written proxy. Holders of fractional shares of a certain class (if any) together constituting the nominal value of a share of that class shall exercise these rights collectively, whether through one of them or through the holder of a written proxy.

29.2 The Management Board may decide that each Person with Meeting Rights is entitled, whether in person or represented by the holder of a written proxy, to participate in, address and, if applicable, vote at the General Meeting by electronic means of communication. For the purpose of applying the preceding sentence it must be possible, by electronic means of communication, for the Person with Meeting Rights to be identified, to observe in real time the proceedings at the General Meeting and, if applicable, to vote. The Management Board may impose conditions on the use of the electronic means of communication, provided that these conditions are reasonable and necessary for the identification of the Person with Meeting Rights and the reliability and security of the communication. Such conditions must be announced in the convening notice.

29.3 The Management Board can also decide that votes cast through electronic means of communication or by means of a letter prior to the General Meeting are considered to be votes that are cast during the General Meeting. These votes shall not be cast prior to the Registration Date.

29.4 For the purpose of Articles 29.1 through 29.3, those who have voting rights and/or Meeting Rights on the Registration Date and are recorded as such in a register designated by the Management Board shall be considered to have those rights, irrespective of whoever is entitled to the shares or depository receipts at the time of the General Meeting. Subject to mandatory Dutch law, the Management Board is free to determine, when convening a General Meeting, whether the previous sentence applies.

29.5 Each Person with Meeting Rights must notify the Company in writing of his identity and his intention to attend the General Meeting. This notice must be received by the Company ultimately on the seventh day prior to the General Meeting, unless indicated otherwise when such General Meeting is convened. Persons with Meeting Rights that have not complied with this requirement may be refused entry to the General Meeting. When a General Meeting is convened the Management Board may stipulate not to apply the previous provisions of this Article 29.5 in respect of the exercise of Meeting Rights and/or voting rights attached to Class B shares at such General Meeting.

GENERAL MEETING - DECISION-MAKING

Article 30

30.1 Each Class A share shall give the right to cast one vote at the General Meeting. Each Class B share shall give the right to cast ten votes at the General Meeting. Fractional shares of a certain class, if any, collectively constituting the nominal value of a share of that class shall be considered to be equivalent to such a share.

30.2 No vote may be cast at a General Meeting in respect of a share belonging to the Company or a Subsidiary or in respect of a share for which any of them holds the depository receipts. Usufructuaries and pledgees of shares belonging to the Company or its Subsidiaries are not, however, precluded from exercising their voting rights if the usufruct or pledge was created before the relevant share belonged to the Company or a Subsidiary. Neither the Company nor a Subsidiary may vote shares in respect of which it holds a usufruct or a pledge.

30.5 Where there is a tie in any vote of the General Meeting, the relevant resolution shall not have been passed.

30.6 The chairman of the General Meeting shall decide on the method of voting and the voting procedure at the General Meeting.

30.7 The determination during the General Meeting made by the chairman of that General Meeting with regard to the results of a vote shall be decisive. If the accuracy of the chairman’s determination is contested immediately after it has been made, a new vote shall take place if the majority of the General Meeting so requires or, where the original vote did not take place by response to a roll call or in writing, if any party with voting rights who is present so requires. The legal consequences of the original vote shall lapse as a result of the new vote.

30.8 The Management Board shall keep a record of the resolutions passed. The record shall be available at the Company’s office for inspection by Persons with Meeting Rights. Each of them shall, upon request, be provided with a copy of or extract from the record, at no more than the cost price.

30.9 The Managing Directors and Supervisory Directors shall, in that capacity, have an advisory vote at the General Meetings.
