The council of the Amsterdam Exchanges NV Association is proposing to amend its take-over rules. The suggested amendments to Appendix X of Amsterdam Exchanges NV Listing and Issuing Rules are being discussed with the Association of Securities Issuing Institutions (VEUO).

In Holland the tradition has been to offer for sale on the Amsterdam Exchanges NV non-voting or "A" shares and the majority of Dutch shareholdings have been of this nature.

The new proposals will secure benefits for companies targeted for takeover as a result of the acquisition, by an aggressor, of a minority equity holding with significant voting rights. The proposals will also offer protection against disenfranchisement for all shareholders and will ensure that the interests of minority, non-voting, shareholders are protected.
