Protection mechanism
The Foundation Continuity TomTom, was established in 2005 to
act as an instrument that protects the company against hostile
takeovers. The purpose of the Foundation is to safeguard the
company's interests and those of its subsidiaries, as well as the
interests of all stakeholders of the organisation.
The company has granted the Foundation a call option entitling it
to subscribe for preferred shares up to 100% of the aggregate
outstanding share capital (excluding issued and outstanding
preferred shares) of the company at the time of issue. An issue of
preferred shares in the manner described would cause substantial
dilution of the voting power of any shareholder whose objective
was to gain control of the company.
Currently, there are no preferred shares outstanding. More
information on the protection mechanism can be found in the
Corporate Governance section.
Dividend policy
TomTom has no current plans to distribute dividends. The company
gives priority to increasing technology investments to strengthen
its capabilities and competitive position and to pursuing
acquisitions in its fleet management business (Telematics), whilst at
the same time improving its balance sheet.
The company believes that allocating its cash resources to these
priorities, serves shareholders' interests better in the longer term.
