PROTECTION MECHANISM
In 2005 the Stichting Continuïteit TomTom was established as an instrument of protection against hostile takeovers
and to protect our interests in other situations. We have granted Stichting Continuïteit TomTom a call option, entitling
it to acquire from us preference shares, up to a maximum of 50% of our total issued and outstanding share capital
(excluding issued and outstanding preference shares). The issue of preference shares or the grant of rights to
subscribe for preference shares, may have the effect of preventing, discouraging or delaying an unsolicited attempt to
obtain control and may help us to determine our position in relation to a bidder and its plans, and to seek
alternatives. In addition to this call option, the General Meeting of Shareholders authorised the Management Board in
April 2009 to issue preference shares and to grant rights to subscribe for such shares until 28 October 2010, which
authority is limited to 50% of the number of issued ordinary shares at the time of issue. More information on the
protection mechanism can be found in the corporate governance section pages 39 to 40. There are currently no
preference shares outstanding.
