Etude de l'AG du 06/12/2017

Under agenda item 2, the shareholders of KPN are notified of the intended appointment of Mr Maximo Ibarra as member and chairman of the Board of Management of KPN as of the AGM on 18 April 2018. Furthermore, shareholder approval is sought for payments to Mr Ibarra for services rendered before 18 April 2018. We express our concern over the fact that KPN failed to disclose why the current chairman of the Board of Management of KPN, Mr Eelco Blok, will only step down on 18 April 2018. It is therefore also unclear why Mr Ibarra would need to render services up untill that date. Furthermore, Mr Ibarra will receive a total of EUR 1.297.000 in awards with no performance conditions attached for unspecified services rendered. We recommend shareholders OPPOSE this resolution.
