Ownership structure
Heineken Holding N.V. owns a 50.005 percent
interest in Heineken N.V. The shares of both
companies are listed on Euronext Amsterdam
and options of both shares are traded on
Euronext.Liffe. CArche Holding SA, a Swiss
company owned by the Heineken family, holds
a 50.005 percent interest in Heineken Holding N.V.
Standing at the head of the Heineken Group,
Heineken Holding N.V. is no ordinary holding
company. Since its formation in 1952, the Holding
objective pursuant to its Articles of Association
has been to manage and/or supervise the Heineken
Group and to provide services to the Group.
The role the Holding has performed for the
Group since 1952 has been to safeguard its
continuity, independence and stability and create
conditions for controlled, steady growth of the
Group's activities. This stability has enabled the
Heineken Group to rise to its present position as
the brewer with the widest international presence
and one of the world's largest brewing groups.
Every Heineken N.V. share held by Heineken
Holding N.V. is matched by one share issued
by Heineken Holding N.V. The net asset value
of one Heineken Holding N.V. share is therefore
identical to the net asset value of one Heineken N.V.
share. The dividend payable on the two shares
is also identical. Historically, however, Heineken
Holding N.V. shares have traded at a lower price
due to technical factors that are market-specific.
