Shareholders Communication Channel
Philips is continually striving to improve relations with
its shareholders. For instance, Philips was one of the
key companies in the establishment of the Shareholders
Communication Channel − a project of Euronext
Amsterdam, banks in the Netherlands and several
major Dutch companies to simplify contacts between
a participating company and its shareholders.
Philips will use the Shareholders Communication Channel
to distribute the Agenda for this year’s Annual General
Meeting of Shareholders as well as an instruction form to
enable proxy voting at that meeting.
For the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on
March 27, 2009, a record date of March 5, 2009, will
apply. Those persons who on March 5, 2009, hold
shares in the Company and are registered as such in
one of the registers designated by the Board of
Management for the Annual General Meeting of
Shareholders will be entitled to participate and
vote at the meeting.
