REOFFER PROSPECTUS

 

LOGO

Allego N.V.

2,658,426 Ordinary Shares, nominal value €0.12 per share

This reoffer prospectus relates to 2,658,426 Ordinary Shares, nominal value €0.12 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of Allego N.V., a Dutch public liability company (the “Company” or “Registrant”), that may be offered from time to time by Ton Louwers, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (the “Selling Securityholder”). The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of Ordinary Shares by the Selling Securityholder made hereunder. The Selling Securityholder will acquire such Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of stock options issued under the Management Incentive Plan of the Company. This reoffer prospectus will be supplemented, as necessary, to update the names of additional selling securityholders and the number of shares of Ordinary Shares to be reoffered by any selling securityholders, when we become aware of that information.

The Selling Securityholder may sell the securities described in this reoffer prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices, including sales in the open market, sales in negotiated transactions, and sales by a combination of these methods. The Selling Securityholder may sell any, all, or none of the Ordinary Shares and we do not know when or in what amount the Selling Securityholder may sell their Ordinary Shares hereunder. The price at which any of the Ordinary Shares may be sold, and the commissions, if any, paid in connection with any such sale, are unknown and may vary from transaction to transaction. The Ordinary Shares may be sold at the market price the time of a sale, at prices relating to the market price over a period of time, or at prices negotiated with the buyers of shares. The Ordinary Shares may be sold through underwriters or dealers, which the Selling Securityholder may select. If underwriters or dealers are used to sell the Ordinary Shares, we will name them and describe their compensation in a prospectus supplement. We provide more information about how the Selling Securityholder may sell his shares Ordinary Shares in the section titled “Plan of Distribution.” The Selling Securityholder will bear all sales commissions and similar expenses. Any other expenses incurred in connection with the registration and offering that are not borne by the Selling Securityholder will be borne by us.

Our Ordinary Shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ALLG.” On May 22, 2023, the last reported sale price of our Ordinary Shares was $2.24 per share.

We are an “emerging growth company” and “smaller reporting company” under applicable federal securities laws and are subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

Investing in our Ordinary Shares involves risks. Please see the information described under “Risk Factors” on page 9.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) may take the view that, under certain circumstances, the Selling Securityholder and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the Selling Securityholder in the distribution of their Ordinary Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Commissions, discounts or concessions received by any such broker-dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act. See the section titled “Plan of Distribution.”

Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this reoffer prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is May 23, 2023.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements included in this reoffer prospectus that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that involve significant risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained herein are forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of the Exchange Act and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward looking statements may generally be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,”, “project,” “forecast,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” “target” or other similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, our expectations with respect to future performance. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially, and potentially adversely, from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside our control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

 

   

changes adversely affecting our business;

 

   

the price and availability of electricity;

 

   

the risks associated with vulnerability to industry downturns and regional or national downturns;

 

   

fluctuations in our revenue and operating results;

 

   

unfavorable conditions or further disruptions in the capital and credit markets;

 

   

our ability to generate cash, service indebtedness and incur additional indebtedness;

 

   

competition from existing and new competitors;

 

   

the growth of the electric vehicle market;

 

   

our ability to integrate any businesses it may acquire;

 

   

our ability to recruit and retain experienced personnel;

 

   

risks relating to legal proceedings or claims, including liability claims;

 

   

our dependence on third-party contractors to provide various services;

 

   

our ability to obtain additional capital on commercially reasonable terms;

 

   

the continued impact of COVID-19, including COVID-19 related supply chain disruptions and expense increases;

 

   

general economic or political conditions, including the armed conflict in Ukraine; and

 

   

other factors detailed under the section entitled “Item 3.D. Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and in our filings with the SEC.

The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that we presently do not know or that we currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect our expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this reoffer prospectus. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our assessments to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, unless required by applicable law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this reoffer prospectus. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Corporate Information

Athena Pubco B.V. was incorporated pursuant to Dutch law on June 3, 2021 for the purpose of effectuating the business combination among the Athena Pubco B.V., Athena Merger Sub, Inc., Madeleine Charging B.V., Allego Holding B.V., and, solely with respect to the sections specified therein, E8 Partenaires and, following the consummation of the business combination on March 16, 2022, Allego was redesignated as Allego N.V. and became the parent company of the combined business. In connection with the business combination, the Allego Articles were amended and Allego changed its legal form from a Dutch private liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkteaansprakelijkheid) to a Dutch public liability company (naamloze vennootschap).

The mailing address of Allego’s registered office is Westervoortsedijk 73 KB, 6827 AV Arnhem, the Netherlands, and Allego’s phone number is +31(0)88 033 3033. Allego’s principal website address is www.allego.com. We do not incorporate the information contained on, or accessible through, Allego’s websites into this reoffer prospectus, and you should not consider it as a part of this reoffer prospectus.

About this Offering

This reoffer prospectus relates to the public offering by the Selling Securityholder of up to 2,658,426 Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Selling Securityholder upon the exercise of options granted to the Selling Securityholder under the Company’s Management Incentive Plan. Subject to the exercise of these options pursuant to the terms of the relevant award agreements (with respect to shares not issued as of the date of this reoffer prospectus), the Selling Securityholder may from time to time sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Ordinary Shares covered by this reoffer prospectus through underwriters or dealers, directly to purchasers (or a single purchaser) or through broker-dealers or agents. We will receive none of the proceeds from the sale of the Ordinary Shares by the Selling Securityholder. The Selling Securityholder will bear all sales commissions and similar expenses in connection with this offering. We will bear all expenses of registration incurred in connection with this reoffer prospectus, as well as any other expenses incurred by us in connection with the registration and offering that are not borne by the Selling Securityholder.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Table of Contents

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Foreign Private Issuer

We are subject to the information reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to “foreign private issuers,” and under those requirements we file reports with the SEC. As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to the same requirements that are imposed upon U.S. domestic issuers by the SEC. Under the Exchange Act, we are subject to reporting obligations that, in certain respects, are less detailed and less frequent than those of U.S. domestic reporting companies. For example, we are not required to issue quarterly reports, proxy statements that comply with the requirements applicable to U.S. domestic reporting companies, or individual executive compensation information that is as detailed as that required of U.S. domestic reporting companies. We also have four months after the end of each fiscal year to file our annual reports with the SEC and are not required to file current reports as frequently or promptly as U.S. domestic reporting companies. Furthermore, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the requirements to report transactions in our equity securities and from the short-swing profit liability provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. As a foreign private issuer, we are also not subject to the requirements of Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure) promulgated under the Exchange Act. These exemptions and leniencies reduce the frequency and scope of information and protections available to you in comparison to those applicable to shareholders of U.S. domestic reporting companies.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our Ordinary Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described under “Item 3.D. Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 that was filed with the SEC on May 16, 2023 before making an investment decision. Our business, prospects, financial condition, or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment.

Other Material Relationships with the Selling Securityholder

Employment Relationships

We have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Louwers. The agreement provide for, among other things, annual base, equity and bonus compensation, and the responsibilities of the parties in the event of certain terminations and change-of-control transactions.

Indemnification Agreements with Directors and Executive Officers

Subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s Articles of Association provide for indemnification of the Registrant’s current and former directors and other current and former officers and employees as designated by the Registrant’s board of directors. No indemnification under the Company’s Articles of Association shall be given to an indemnified person:

 

   

if a competent court or arbitral tribunal has established, without having (or no longer having) the possibility for appeal, that the acts or omissions of such indemnified person that led to the financial losses, damages, expenses, suit, claim, action or legal proceedings as described above are of an unlawful nature (including acts or omissions which are considered to constitute malice, gross negligence, intentional recklessness and/or serious culpability attributable to such indemnified person);

 

   

to the extent that his or her financial losses, damages and expenses are covered under insurance and the relevant insurer has settled, or has provided reimbursement for, these financial losses, damages and expenses (or has irrevocably undertaken to do so);

 

   

in relation to proceedings brought by such indemnified person against the Registrant, except for proceedings brought to enforce indemnification to which he is entitled pursuant to our articles of association, pursuant to an agreement between such indemnified person and the Registrant which has been approved by our board of directors or pursuant to insurance taken out by the Registrant for the benefit of such indemnified person; and

 

   

for any financial losses, damages or expenses incurred in connection with a settlement of any proceedings effected without our prior consent.

Under the Company’s Articles of Association, the board of directors may stipulate additional terms, conditions and restrictions in relation to the indemnification described above. The indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Registrant’s Articles of Association, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The Company also maintains standard policies of insurance that provide coverage (1) to its directors and officers, including the Selling Securityholder, against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act and (2) to the Company with respect to indemnification payments that it may make to such directors and officers.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Ordinary Shares covered by this reoffer prospectus are being registered by the Company for the account of the Selling Securityholder. The Ordinary Shares offered may be sold from time to time directly by or on behalf of the Selling Securityholder in one or more transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the Ordinary Shares may be listed at the time of sale, in privately negotiated transactions, or through a combination of such methods, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at fixed prices (which may be changed) or at negotiated prices. The Selling Securityholder may sell shares through one or more agents, brokers or dealers or directly to purchasers. Such brokers or dealers may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Securityholder and/or purchasers of the shares or both. Such compensation as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions.

In connection with his sales, the Selling Securityholder and any participating broker or dealer may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions they receive and the proceeds of any sale of shares may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the Ordinary Shares. Any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares will be borne by the Selling Securityholder or other party selling such shares. Sales of the shares must be made by the Selling Securityholder in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws and regulations, including the Securities Act. In addition to any shares sold hereunder, the Selling Securityholder may sell Ordinary Shares in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. There is no assurance that the Selling Securityholder will sell all or a portion of the Ordinary Shares offered hereby. The Selling Securityholder may agree to indemnify any broker, dealer or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the shares arising under the Securities Act. We have notified the Selling Securityholder of the need to deliver a copy of this reoffer prospectus in connection with any sale of the Ordinary Shares.

The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of our Ordinary Shares and activities of the Selling Securityholder, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Ordinary Shares by the Selling Securityholder and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Ordinary Shares to engage in passive market-making activities with respect to the Ordinary Shares. Passive market making involves transactions in which a market maker acts as both our underwriter and as a purchaser of our C Ordinary Shares in the secondary market. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Ordinary Shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Ordinary Shares.

Once sold under the registration statement of which this reoffer prospectus forms a part, the Ordinary Shares will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Under Dutch law, the Registrant’s Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors may be held liable for damages in the event of improper or negligent performance of their duties. They may be held liable for damages to the Registrant and to third parties for infringement of the Registrant’s articles of association or of certain provisions of Dutch law. In certain circumstances, they may also incur other specific civil and criminal liabilities. Subject to certain exceptions, the Registrant’s Articles of Association provide for indemnification of the Registrant’s current and former directors and other current and former officers and employees as designated by the Registrant’s board of directors. No indemnification under the Registrant’s Articles of Association shall be given to an indemnified person:

 

   

if a competent court or arbitral tribunal has established, without having (or no longer having) the possibility for appeal, that the acts or omissions of such indemnified person that led to the financial losses, damages, expenses, suit, claim, action or legal proceedings as described above are of an unlawful nature (including acts or omissions which are considered to constitute malice, gross negligence, intentional recklessness and/or serious culpability attributable to such indemnified person);

to the extent that his or her financial losses, damages and expenses are covered under insurance and the relevant insurer has settled, or has provided reimbursement for, these financial losses, damages and expenses (or has irrevocably undertaken to do so);

 

   

in relation to proceedings brought by such indemnified person against the Registrant, except for proceedings brought to enforce indemnification to which he is entitled pursuant to our articles of association, pursuant to an agreement between such indemnified person and the Registrant which has been approved by our board of directors or pursuant to insurance taken out by the Registrant for the benefit of such indemnified person; and

 

   

for any financial losses, damages or expenses incurred in connection with a settlement of any proceedings effected without our prior consent.

Under the Registrant’s Articles of Association, the board of directors may stipulate additional terms, conditions and restrictions in relation to the indemnification described above.

The indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Registrant’s Articles of Association, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

The Registrant also maintains standard policies of insurance that provide coverage (1) to its directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act and (2) to the Registrant with respect to indemnification payments that it may make to such directors and officers.

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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 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) above 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 SEC by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this 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.

(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 SEC 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.

To the Company:

We have acted as legal counsel as to Dutch law to the Company in connection with the Plans and the filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC. This opinion letter is rendered to you in order to be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

Capitalised terms used in this opinion letter have the meanings set forth in Exhibit A to this opinion letter. The section headings used in this opinion letter are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect its construction or to be taken into consideration in its interpretation.

This opinion letter is strictly limited to the matters stated in it and may not be read as extending by implication to any matters not specifically referred to in it. Nothing in this opinion letter should be taken as expressing an opinion in respect of any representations or warranties, or other information, contained in any document reviewed by us in connection with this opinion letter.

In rendering the opinions expressed in this opinion letter, we have reviewed and relied upon a draft of the Registration Statement and pdf copies of the Plans and the Corporate Documents and we have assumed that Awards under the Plans shall be made for bona fide commercial reasons. We have not investigated or verified any factual matter disclosed to us in the course of our review.

This opinion letter sets out our opinion on certain matters of the laws with general applicability of the Netherlands, and, insofar as they are directly applicable in the Netherlands, of the European Union, as at today’s date and as presently interpreted under published authoritative case law of the Dutch courts, the General Court and the Court of Justice of the European Union. We do not express any opinion on Dutch or European competition law, data protection law, tax law, securitisation law or regulatory law. No undertaking is assumed on our part to revise, update or amend this opinion letter in connection with, or to notify or inform you of, any developments and/or changes of Dutch law subsequent to today’s date. We do not purport to opine on the consequences of amendments to the Plans, the Registration Statement or the Corporate Documents subsequent to the date of this opinion letter.

The opinions expressed in this opinion letter are to be construed and interpreted in accordance with Dutch law. The competent courts at Amsterdam, the Netherlands, have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any issues of interpretation or liability arising

 

All legal relationships are subject to NautaDutilh N.V.’s general terms and conditions (see https://www.nautadutilh.com/terms), which apply mutatis mutandis to our relationship with third parties relying on statements of NautaDutilh N.V., include a limitation of liability clause, have been filed with the Rotterdam District Court and will be provided free of charge upon request.

out of or in connection with this opinion letter. Any legal relationship arising out of or in connection with this opinion letter (whether contractual or non-contractual), including the above submission to jurisdiction, is governed by Dutch law and shall be subject to the general terms and conditions of NautaDutilh. Any liability arising out of or in connection with this opinion letter shall be limited to the amount which is paid out under NautaDutilh’s insurance policy in the matter concerned. No person other than NautaDutilh may be held liable in connection with this opinion letter.

In this opinion letter, legal concepts are expressed in English terms. The Dutch legal concepts concerned may not be identical in meaning to the concepts described by the English terms as they exist under the law of other jurisdictions. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency, the relevant expression shall be deemed to refer only to the Dutch legal concepts described by the English terms.

For the purposes of this opinion letter, we have assumed that:

 

a.

each copy of a document conforms to the original, each original is authentic, and each signature is the genuine signature of the individual purported to have placed that signature;

 

b.

if any signature under any document is an electronic signature (as opposed to a handwritten (“wet ink”) signature) only, it is either a qualified electronic signature within the meaning of the eIDAS Regulation, or the method used for signing is otherwise sufficiently reliable;

 

c.

the Registration Statement has been or will be filed with the SEC in the form reviewed by us;

 

d.

at each Relevant Moment, Ordinary Shares shall have been admitted for trading on a regulated market, a multilateral trading facility or a comparable trading system outside the European Economic Area as referred to in Section 2:86c(1) DCC;

 

e.

the Current Articles are the Articles of Association currently in force and as they will be in force at each Relevant Moment;

 

f.

at each Relevant Moment, the authorised share capital (maatschappelijk kapitaal) of the Company shall allow for the grant of Awards and the issuance of Plan Shares pursuant to the exercise or settlement thereof;

 

g.

at each Relevant Moment, the Company will not have (i) been dissolved (ontbonden), (ii) ceased to exist pursuant to a merger (fusie) or a division (splitsing), (iii) been converted (omgezet) into another legal form, either

  national or foreign, (iv) had its assets placed under administration (onder bewind gesteld), (v) been declared bankrupt (failliet verklaard), (vi) been granted a suspension of payments (surseance van betaling verleend), (vii) started or become subject to statutory proceedings for the restructuring of its debts (akkoordprocedure) or (viii) been made subject to similar proceedings in any jurisdiction or otherwise been limited in its power to dispose of its assets;

 

h.

no Awards shall be offered to the public (aanbieden aan het publiek) in the Netherlands other than in conformity with the Prospectus Regulation, the PRIIPs Regulation and the rules promulgated thereunder;

 

i.

at each Relevant Moment, (i) the relevant Award(s) shall have been validly granted as a right to subscribe for Ordinary Shares (recht tot het nemen van aandelen) by the corporate body authorised to do so, (ii) shall be in full force and effect upon being exercised or settled, as applicable, (iii) shall have been validly exercised or settled, as applicable, in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable to such Award(s) and (iv) any pre-emption rights in respect of such Award(s) shall have been validly excluded by the corporate body authorised to do so; and

 

j.

at each Relevant Moment, each holder of the relevant Award(s) shall be an individual who has not (i) deceased, (ii) had such individual’s assets placed under administration (onder bewind gesteld), (iii) been declared bankrupt (failliet verklaard), (iv) been granted a suspension of payments (surseance van betaling verleend), (v) been subjected to a debt reorganisation procedure (schuldsanering), (vi) started or become subject to statutory proceedings for the restructuring of such individual’s debts (akkoordprocedure) or (vii) been made subject to similar proceedings in any jurisdiction or otherwise been limited in the power to dispose of such individual’s assets.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth in this opinion letter and to any matters, documents or events not disclosed to us, we express the following opinions:

Corporate Status

 

1.

The Company has been duly incorporated as a besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid and is validly existing as a naamloze vennootschap.


LOGO

 

4

 

Plan Shares

 

2.

Subject to receipt by the Company of payment in full for, or other satisfaction of the issue price of, the Plan Shares in accordance with the Plans, and when issued and accepted in accordance with the Plans, the Plan Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:

 

A.

Opinion 1 must not be read to imply that the Company cannot be dissolved (ontbonden). A company such as the Company may be dissolved, inter alia by the competent court at the request of the company’s board of directors, any interested party (belanghebbende) or the public prosecution office in certain circumstances, such as when there are certain defects in the incorporation of the company. Any such dissolution will not have retro-active effect.

 

B.

Pursuant to Section 2:7 DCC, any transaction entered into by a legal entity may be nullified by the legal entity itself or its liquidator in bankruptcy proceedings (curator) if the objects of that entity were transgressed by the transaction and the other party to the transaction knew or should have known this without independent investigation (wist of zonder eigen onderzoek moest weten). The Dutch Supreme Court (Hoge Raad der Nederlanden) has ruled that in determining whether the objects of a legal entity are transgressed, not only the description of the objects in that legal entity’s articles of association (statuten) is decisive, but all (relevant) circumstances must be taken into account, in particular whether the interests of the legal entity were served by the transaction. Based on the objects clause contained in the Current Articles, we have no reason to believe that, by making Awards under the Plans, the Company would transgress the description of the objects contained in its Articles of Association. However, we cannot assess whether there are other relevant circumstances that must be taken into account, in particular whether the interests of the Company are served by making Awards under the Plan since this is a matter of fact.

 

C.

Pursuant to Section 2:98c DCC, a company such as the Company may grant loans (leningen verstrekken) only in accordance with the restrictions set out in Section 2:98c DCC, and may not provide security (zekerheid stellen), give a price guarantee (koersgarantie geven) or otherwise bind itself, whether jointly and severally or otherwise with or for third parties (zich op andere wijze sterk maken of zich hoofdelijk of anderszins naast of

  voor anderen verbinden) with a view to (met het oog op) the subscription or acquisition by third parties of shares in its share capital or depository receipts. This prohibition also applies to its subsidiaries (dochtervennootschappen). It is generally assumed that a transaction entered into in violation of Section 2:98c DCC is null and void (nietig). Based on the content of the Plans, we have no reason to believe that the Company or its subsidiaries will violate Section 2:98c DCC in connection with the issue of Plan Shares. However, we cannot confirm this definitively, since the determination of whether a company (or a subsidiary) has provided security, has given a price guarantee or has otherwise bound itself, with a view to the subscription or acquisition by third parties of shares in its share capital or depository receipts, as described above, is a matter of fact.

 

D.

The opinions expressed in this opinion letter may be limited or affected by:

 

  a.

rules relating to Insolvency Proceedings or similar proceedings under a foreign law and other rules affecting creditors’ rights generally;

 

  b.

the provisions of fraudulent preference and fraudulent conveyance (Actio Pauliana) and similar rights available in other jurisdictions to insolvency practitioners and insolvency office holders in bankruptcy proceedings or creditors;

 

  c.

claims based on tort (onrechtmatige daad);

 

  d.

sanctions and measures, including but not limited to those concerning export control, pursuant to European Union regulations, under the Dutch Sanctions Act 1977 (Sanctiewet 1977) or other legislation;

 

  e.

the Anti-Boycott Regulation, Anti Money Laundering Laws and related legislation;

 

  f.

any intervention, recovery or resolution measure by any regulatory or other authority or governmental body in relation to financial enterprises or their affiliated entities; and

 

  g.

the rules of force majeure (niet toerekenbare tekortkoming), reasonableness and fairness (redelijkheid en billijkheid), suspension (opschorting), dissolution (ontbinding), unforeseen circumstances (onvoorziene omstandigheden) and vitiated consent


LOGO

 

6

 

  (i.e., duress (bedreiging), fraud (bedrog), abuse of circumstances (misbruik van omstandigheden) and error (dwaling)) or a difference of intention (wil) and declaration (verklaring).

 

E.

The term “non-assessable” has no equivalent in the Dutch language and for purposes of this opinion letter such term should be interpreted to mean that a holder of an Ordinary Share shall not by reason of merely being such a holder be subject to assessment or calls by the Company or its creditors for further payment on such Ordinary Share.

 

F.

This opinion letter does not purport to express any opinion or view on the operational rules and procedures of any clearing or settlement system or agency.

We consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent we do not admit or imply that we are a person whose consent is required under Section 7 of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Sincerely yours,

5.2

If a Performance Option is subject to Performance Criteria which must be achieved or satisfied within a period, such Performance Option can only be exercised or settled at or after the end of that period.

The Board shall notify the Participant hereof in writing.

 

5.3

For the avoidance of doubt, the Participant does not have the right to exercise the Performance Options before the ending of the Performance Period.

 

5.4

Performance Criteria may be measured on an absolute or relative basis and may be established on a Company-wide basis or with respect to one or more business units, divisions, Subsidiaries and/or business segments. Relative performance may be measured against a group of peer companies determined by the Board following advice from the Committee, financial market indices and/or other objective and quantifiable indices. Performance Criteria may relate to performance by the Company and/or by the Participant concerned.

 

5.5

If the Board, following advice from the Committee, determines that a change in the business, operations, group structure or capital structure of the Company, or other events or circumstances, render certain Performance Criteria applicable to outstanding Performance Options unsuitable or inappropriate, the Board, following advice from the Committee, may amend or waive such Performance Criteria, in whole or in part, as the Board deems appropriate. Whereby it is considered that any amendment will not adversely affect the existing rights of the Participant.
