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 25, 2010, a record date of March 3, 2010, will apply. Those persons who on March 3, 2010, 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 in and vote at the meeting. Investor relations activitiesFrom time to time the Company engages in communications with investors via road shows, one-on-one meetings, group meetings, broker conferences and analysts days. The purpose of these meetings is to inform the market on the results, strategy and decisions made, as well as to receive feedback from our shareholders. Also, the Company engages in bilateral communications with investors. These communications either take place at the initiative of the Company or at the initiative of individual investors. During these communications the Company is generally represented by its Investor Relations department. However, on a limited number of occasions the Investor Relations department is accompanied by one or more members of the Board of Management. The subject matter of the bilateral communications ranges from individual queries from investors to more elaborate discussions on the back of disclosures that the Company has made such as its annual and quarterly reports. The Company is strict in its compliance with applicable rules and regulations on fair and non-selective disclosure and equal treatment of shareholders. More information on the activities of Investor Relations can be found in the chapter Corporate governance Corporate governance of the Philips Group.
