As at 31 December 2016, the share premium amounted to EUR 2,701 million (2015: EUR 2,701 million).
The translation reserve comprises foreign currency differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations of
HEINEKEN (excluding amounts attributable to non-controlling interests) as well as value changes of the hedging instruments in the net investment
hedges. HEINEKEN considers this a legal reserve.
This reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of cash flow hedging instruments where the hedged
transaction has not yet occurred. HEINEKEN considers this a legal reserve.
This reserve comprises the cumulative net change in the fair value of available-for-sale investments until the investment is derecognised or impaired.
HEINEKEN considers this a legal reserve.
These reserves relate to the share of profit of joint ventures and associates over the distribution of which HEINEKEN does not have control.
The movement in these reserves reflects retained earnings of joint ventures and associates minus dividends received. In case of a legal or other
restriction which means that retained earnings of subsidiaries cannot be freely distributed, a legal reserve is recognised for the restricted part.
Furthermore, part of the reserve comprises a legal reserve for capitalised development costs.
The reserve for the Company's own shares comprises the cost of the Company's shares held by HEINEKEN. As at 31 December 2016, HEINEKEN held
6,321,833 of the Company's shares (2015: 6,318,958).
During the period from 1 January to 31 December 2016, HEINEKEN acquired 505,000 shares for an amount of EUR 39 million for delivery against
