RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SUPERVISORY COUNCIL
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS
We have received the annual accounts drawn up by the Board of Managing Directors for the
financial year 1972/1973.
These annual accounts, which are shown on pages 42 to 45 of this Report, have been audited and
found correct by the auditors, Messrs. Klynveld Kraayenhof Co.
We recommend you to adopt the accounts in question and, in accordance with the proposal by
the Board of Managing Directors, to fix the dividend at N.fl. 3.50 per share of N.fl. 25.par
value.
At the forthcoming Annual General Meeting of Shareholders four Members of the
Supervisory Council will retire: Mr. J. M. Fentener van Vlissingen at his own request, and
Mr. R. M. L. Hinzelin, Mr. C. T. de Vries Robbé and Jonkheer Id. A. van Ivarnebeek because
they have reached the age limit laid down by the Articles of Association. Their colleagues on
the Supervisory Council wish to express here their great appreciation for everything which they
have done for the enterprise in the course of time and to thank them for their advice, which has
always been of significant value.
A binding nomination drawn up by us for the appointment of a Member of the Supervisory
Council will be submitted to your above-mentioned meeting.
