During the General Meeting of Shareholders held on 20 April 2009, the
financial statements for the financial year 2008 were adopted.
The members of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board were granted
discharge for the policy pursued in the 2008 financial year,
respectively for the supervision exercised on this policy.
The proposed dividend for the financial year 2008 was approved. At
the choice of the shareholders, the dividend will be paid out in
cash, at EUR 0.28 per ordinary share having a nominal value of
EUR 0.25, or in the form of stock dividend either charged to the
tax-exempt share premium account or to the unappropriated profit. As
from 15 May 2009 dividend will be made payable by ABN AMRO Bank N.V.,
trading under the name of RBS, in Amsterdam (the Netherlands). The
stock dividend exchange ratio will be determined on the basis of the
volume weighted average price of all Aalberts Industries N.V. shares
traded on 6, 7, 8, 11 and 12 May 2009, and in such a way that the
value of the dividend in shares is virtually equivalent to the value
of the cash dividend.
Furthermore the General Meeting of Shareholders appointed Messrs J.
Eijgendaal and W.A. Pelsma member of the Executive Board for an
indefinite period with effect from 21 April 2009. On the board Mr
Eijgendaal will serve as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Mr Pelsma
as Chief Operating Officer (COO). The General Meeting of Shareholders
also agreed to reappoint Mr A.B. van Luyk as member of the
Supervisory Board for the period of two years.
