Enterprise Court rejects Highfields' request to postpone voting on rights issue

The Enterprise Court of Amsterdam dismissed the request of DELTA LLOYD shareholder Highfields Capital ("Highfields") to prohibit the voting on the rights issue proposed by Delta Lloyd. The voting on the rights issue at Wednesday's Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders ("EGM") can therefore take place.

Hans van der Noordaa, chairman of the Executive Board: "It is a clear and positive ruling, which is in the interests of all of Delta Lloyd's stakeholders. The shareholders meeting is the appropriate forum to discuss the merits of and decide on the proposed rights issue. Individual shareholders should not seek to bypass this through court action. We are pleased the court has decided accordingly."
