(<strong>LBi</strong> International N.V.)<br />

<strong>Minutes</strong> of the annual general meeting of shareholders (the Meeting) of <strong>LBi</strong> International N.V., a public<br />

company (naamloze vennootschap) under the laws of the Netherlands, having its registered offices in<br />

Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and its principal place of business at Joop Geesinkweg 209, 1096 AV Amsterdam,<br />

the Netherlands, registered with the trade register of the Chambers of Commerce under file number 30277334<br />

(the Company), held at the Hilton Hotel, Apollolaan 138, 1077 BG Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on 26 May<br />

2011.<br />

Chairman: Alfred Mulder (chairman of the supervisory board of the Company (the Supervisory Board));<br />

secretary: Marleen Wessel (Loyens & Loeff N.V.).<br />

Opening<br />

The chairman opens the Meeting at 14:00 hours CET, welcomes those present to the Meeting and declares that:<br />

- his name is Alfred Mulder, the chairman of the Supervisory Board and as such authorized to be the<br />

chairman of the Meeting. The other persons sitting next to him are, at his left side Nazo Moosa, member<br />

of the Supervisory Board and Luke Augustus James Taylor (Mr. Taylor), member of the management<br />

board of the Company (the Management Board) and Chief Executive Officer and at his right side<br />

Hubertus Johannes Franciscus Wezenberg (Mr. Wezenberg), Management Board member and Chief<br />

Financial Officer and John Francis Patrick Farrell, Supervisory Board member. This means that the entire<br />

Management Board and three of the five Supervisory Board members are present at the Meeting;<br />

- he would like to introduce Guido Portier, civil law notary of Loyens & Loeff N.V. and designates Marleen<br />

Wessel of Loyens & Loeff N.V. to keep the minutes of the Meeting;<br />

- he would also like to introduce the Company's external accountant Bart Koolstra, accountant of<br />

PricewaterhouseCoopers N.V.;<br />

- the Meeting will be held in English. For those who wish to listen to a Dutch translation of the discussion<br />

at the Meeting, headsets are available at the registration desk;<br />

- the Meeting has been convened by the Management Board, by means of a publication on the website of<br />

the Company on 14 April 2011, being the 42nd day before the day of the Meeting and as such in<br />

accordance with the law and the articles of association of the Company (the Articles);<br />

- in the convocation is mentioned that certain documents were available at the Company’s website, at the<br />

offices of the Company and at the offices of SNS Securities and are also available at the Meeting. For<br />

completeness sake he mentioned that the following documents are the documents that were available:<br />

(i) the agenda and the explanatory notes thereto;<br />

(ii) the annual report;<br />

(iii) the financial statements and the auditor’s statement;<br />

(iv) the proposed amendment to the Articles;<br />

(v) a form of proxy, voting and voting instructions;


- all documents were made available for inspection in accordance with the law and the Articles;<br />

- at the time of convocation of the Meeting one share A, one share B and 149,826,922 ordinary shares in<br />

the capital of the Company were issued. On 28 April 2011, being the record date, the number of issued<br />

shares had not changed, meaning that at the Meeting, the maximum number of votes that could be<br />

exercised on the shares if all shareholders were present or represented is 149,826,924;<br />

- at the Meeting about 65.96% of the issued and outstanding capital is present or represented, in total<br />

entitled to cast 98,832,688 votes;<br />

- in principle, the proposed resolutions to be voted on at the Meeting may be adopted by an absolute<br />

majority of the votes cast. Only agenda item 8, the proposal to amend the Articles, requires at least two<br />

thirds of the votes cast;<br />

- each proposal on the agenda for today’s Meeting will be open for discussion and questions. Only agenda<br />

items 3 up to and including 8 are voting items. For these agenda items the opportunity will be granted to<br />

raise questions or to pose remarks immediately prior to the voting on the relevant proposal. For the<br />

purpose of the Meeting to take place in an orderly manner, those present are requested to restrict<br />

questions and remarks to the subject that is under discussion at that time. Any other business or<br />

questions may come up and will be open for discussion under agenda item 9;<br />

- when raising questions or posing remarks, those present are requested to stand up and state the<br />

respective person's name. It would be highly appreciated if those present could be brief and clear.<br />

Anyone present as a proxy holder or a representative of a legal entity which holds any shares in the<br />

capital of the Company, is requested to state the name of the legal entity in question. This will be<br />

conducive to the preparation of a correct report of the Meeting.<br />

The chairman then proposed to proceed to the first agenda item.<br />

1. Report Management Board for financial year 2010, including corporate governance<br />

The chairman states that the first agenda item for today relates to the discussion of the annual report as drawn<br />

up by the Management Board over the first financial year of the Company, which terminated on 31 December<br />

2010.<br />

He notes that this agenda item is not a voting item. The agenda item will be open for discussion after the<br />

presentation of the Company's CEO and CFO, who will give explanations to the annual report.<br />

The chairman gives the floor to Mr. Taylor and Mr. Wezenberg, who provide an overview of the Company's<br />

highlights and the Company's activities and the changes in the market in which the Company is operating. They<br />

also describe the strategic plans of the Company, the progress the Company made to date and the financial<br />

performance of the Company.<br />

After the presentation, the chairman thanks Messrs. Taylor and Wezenberg for their presentation and gives the<br />

opportunity to the attendees of the Meeting to raise questions or pose remarks.<br />

Mr. Burgers, representing Add Value Fund, first notes that he is happy with the contents of the clear annual<br />

report. He has three questions. Mr. Taylor mentioned that the Company is a streamlined company today. On<br />

the other hand, reading through the annual report, it appears that there are a number of departments of the


Company which still are in need to be reinforced. He asks what the amount of investments is that is budgeted<br />

for this year in order to grow the Company. He notes that particularly in the United States of America<br />

investments seem to be needed. Secondly, he is interested to know what the financial targets in the medium<br />

term are. His third question concerns Germany. According to Mr. Burgers, the German market is the most<br />

interesting one in Europe and in the past there have been some problems there, especially with MetaDesign. It<br />

struck him that MetaDesign is sort of being upgraded when reading through the annual report. He wonders if it<br />

is true that the role of MetaDesign within the Company is becoming more important and if so, if the<br />

Management Board could elaborate on that subject.<br />

The chairman answers that in general terms the Company's goal is to maintain at least the best in class<br />

margins. With respect to the first question, the chairman notes that at the time the Company announced that it<br />

was going to attract EUR 40 to EUR 50 million, it was agreed with the consortium that most of that money<br />

would be used for attractive opportunities in the future, without running into all kinds of banking ratio issues<br />

and problems. The Company wishes to grow in the United States of America and to explore the possibilities to<br />

grow outside Europe and the United States of America, especially in the Far East. Such growth could be realised<br />

organically as well as by means of acquisitions. For more specifics, the chairman refers to Mr. Taylor.<br />

Mr. Taylor describes that the Management Board is protecting margins and EBITDA when reviewing growth<br />

opportunities. Currently the EBITDA tracks growth and there is some margin expansion. The Management<br />

Board does not want to emphasize the margin expansion, but rather wishes to use increased efficiency to<br />

service a number of investments. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are typical examples of the Company's organic growth<br />

strategy. The Company will follow its key clients when making investments in new geographical areas to ensure<br />

immediate returns on investments and maintain the margin level. In the United States of America, the<br />

Management Board will make discrete investments and use the Company's proceeds to add additional services<br />

to create cross-sell opportunities. With respect to the third item, Mr. Taylor explains that MetaDesign is<br />

bouncing back in line with the German market with a best in class service. The German market is a key priority<br />

for the Company.<br />

The chairman proposes to discuss the compliance with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code before going to<br />

agenda item 2. There are two items that the chairman would like to highlight. One year ago it was very much<br />

felt important and appreciated that the three senior managers of the Company would show their commitment<br />

by taking part in the PIPE offering for an amount of EUR 1,600,000 in the aggregate. These managers needed<br />

funding for the payment of such amount. The Company agreed with the three managers to provide a loan for<br />

four years with an interest rate of five percent. The three senior managers paid in the nominal value of EUR 0.25<br />

per share and EUR 0.95 per share has been converted into a loan. This is not very common in the Netherlands<br />

and under the Dutch Corporate Governance Code not regarded as best practice, but the Company felt that it<br />

could defend this because it would be in the interest of the shareholders to have the senior management<br />

committed for a longer term.<br />

Another item the Company deviates from the Dutch Corporate Governance Code is that the Company has a<br />

Supervisory Board consisting of three independent and two non-independent Supervisory Board members. The<br />

consortium and later Carlyle negotiated the right to nominate representatives in the Supervisory Board. As a<br />

result, the Company has three independent Supervisory Board members (being Alfred Mulder, John Francis<br />

Patrick Farrell and George William Fink) and Nazo Moosa and Joost Edward Tjaden. Mr. Tjaden has retired from<br />

the Supervisory Board effective today. The chairman notes that the Supervisory Board enjoyed the time Mr.<br />

Tjaden was part of the Supervisory Board. The vacancy will be filled as soon as possible. According to the<br />

retirement schedule, all Supervisory Board members appointed on July 2010 will retire four years thereafter. The<br />

Supervisory Board may further consider the retirement schedule closer to the end of that four year period.<br />

Granting options and/or shares as remuneration to the Supervisory Board also deviates from the Dutch


Corporate Governance Code. This allows the Company to attract and keep an internationally orientated<br />

Supervisory Board.<br />

2. Explanation of policy on additions to reserves and dividends<br />

This agenda item relates to the explanation of the Company’s policy on additions to reserves and dividends.<br />

Mr. Taylor explains that the Management Board's goal is to further grow the Company and the Company raised<br />

additional funds for that purpose. The Management Board believes that the Company will be able to do good<br />

quality deals with those funds and that such deals will drive shareholders value. On that basis it does not make<br />

sense at this point in time to distribute dividends or to determine a policy, because the Management Board<br />

believes that the Company can obtain a better shareholders value by further proceeding with its growth<br />

strategy.<br />

3. Proposal to adopt annual accounts<br />

The chairman proposes to adopt the annual accounts for the Company’s first financial year terminated on 31<br />

December 2010. As indicated at the beginning of the Meeting, the annual accounts have been made available<br />

for inspection by the shareholders. He states that the proposal to adopt the 2010 annual accounts is now open<br />

for discussion.<br />

Mr. Burgers, representing Add Value Fund, notes that the annual report mentions that the Company is<br />

focussing aggressively on the cross-sell of services into existing key accounts. The Company upgraded margins<br />

in all major markets and reduced the reliance on expensive new business acquisitions. Mr. Burgers states that<br />

new business acquisitions are of great relevance in order to grow the Company. It appears that the choice has<br />

been made to go for the existing key clients and increase the level of services provided to those clients. He is<br />

wondering if this restrains the Company in getting the new bigger global clients the Management Board is<br />

looking for.<br />

The Chairman explains that the Management Board believes that it is important to spend time and money to<br />

keep the Company's existing clients and to expand the services for them. On the other hand the Company is of<br />

course always looking for new clients. Mr. Taylor explains that the top twenty clients were about 46 percent of<br />

the business of the Company two years ago and 56 percent of the business in the previous year, which shows<br />

that the Company enjoys the benefits of cross-selling.<br />

Mr. Burgers answers that he fully agrees with the strategy, but that there are other top twenty level global<br />

clients who are not yet being serviced by the Company, while the Company has been invited to make a<br />

presentation or to become a strategic partner. There would be of course a limit to the Company's capacity. He<br />

notes that he understands that requests for information and all the activities connected therewith costs a lot of<br />

time, money and capacity.<br />

Mr. Taylor answers that compared to the past the Company is more selective in pursuing new opportunities and<br />

is more focussed on improving new business conversions.<br />

The chairman notes that there are no further questions and proceeds to voting. As there are no votes against<br />

the proposal and no abstentions, the chairman notes that the proposal has been adopted unanimously.


4. Discharge Management Board members<br />

The chairman proposes to grant discharge to the Management Board members from all liability in relation to<br />

the exercise of the duties of the Management Board members in the financial year 2010, provided that such<br />

exercise is apparent from the financial statements or other public disclosures prior to the adoption of the 2010<br />

annual accounts.<br />

The chairman notes that there are no questions and proceeds to voting. As there are no votes against the<br />

proposal and no abstentions, the chairman notes that the proposal has been adopted unanimously.<br />

5. Discharge Supervisory Board members<br />

The chairman proposes to grant discharge to the Supervisory Board members from all liability in relation to the<br />

exercise of the duties of the Supervisory Board members in the financial year 2010, provided that such exercise<br />

is apparent from the financial statements or other public disclosures prior to the adoption of the 2010 annual<br />

accounts.<br />

The chairman notes that there are no questions and proceeds to voting. As there are no votes against the<br />

proposal and no abstentions, the chairman notes that the proposal has been adopted unanimously.<br />

6a. Proposal to appoint Mr. Taylor for a new term as Management Board member<br />

The chairman proposes to re-appoint Mr. Taylor on the proposal of the Supervisory Board as Management<br />

Board member for a new term ending on the day of the annual general meeting of shareholders held in 2012,<br />

which is the first year after the year of the re-appointment.<br />

The chairman notes that there are no questions and proceeds to voting. As there are no votes against the<br />

proposal and no abstentions, the chairman notes that the proposal has been adopted unanimously.<br />

6b. Proposal to appoint Mr. Wezenberg for a new term as Management Board member<br />

The chairman proposes to re-appoint Mr. Wezenberg on the proposal of the Supervisory Board as Management<br />

Board member for a new term ending on the day of the annual general meeting of shareholders held in 2012,<br />

which is the first year after the year of the re-appointment.<br />

The chairman notes that there are no questions and proceeds to voting. As there are no votes against the<br />

proposal and no abstentions, the chairman notes that the proposal has been adopted unanimously.<br />

7. Proposal to appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers N.V. as external auditor<br />

The chairman proposes to appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers Accountants N.V. as the external auditor of the<br />

Company for a three-year term, effective as of the moment of adoption of the present proposal up to and<br />

including the annual general meeting to be held in 2014. The chairman asks if anyone wishes to ask questions or<br />

to make any remarks.<br />

Mr. Burger asks when PricewaterhouseCoopers Accountants N.V. started as the external accountant of the<br />

Company. The chairman answers that PricewaterhouseCoopers as a firm has been <strong>LBi</strong>'s external accountant for<br />

many years. PricewaterhouseCoopers Accountants N.V. in the Netherlands became the external accountant of<br />

the Company as of the merger between Obtineo Netherlands Holding N.V. and LBI International AB (publ) last<br />

year. Mr. Burger asks if the appointment for a three-year term is not too long for this first assignment. The


chairman answers that the accounting issues relating to the whole exercise of moving from Sweden to the<br />

Netherlands, delistings and relistings requires a lot of knowledge about the Company. It would have been<br />

inefficient to appoint new accountants and the Management Board is very content with the way it went with<br />

PricewaterhouseCoopers Accountants N.V. in the past and what has been achieved in the very complicated last<br />

year. Mr. Wezenberg confirms that the three year term aims at benefitting as much as possible from the<br />

knowledge acquired by the accountant in the past year and also allows the Company to retain accounting<br />

services at a substantially lower cost.<br />

The chairman notes that there are no further questions and proceeds to voting. As there are no votes against<br />

the proposal and no abstentions, the chairman notes that the proposal has been adopted unanimously.<br />

8. Proposal to amend the Articles<br />

The chairman proposes to amend the Articles in conformity with a draft deed drawn up by Loyens & Loeff N.V.,<br />

and also to authorize each Management Board member as well as each employee of Loyens & Loeff N.V.<br />

severally, to apply for the statement of no objections with the Dutch Ministry of Justice and to have the deed of<br />

amendment to the Articles executed.<br />

The chairman states that as indicated in the beginning of the Meeting, the proposed amendment to the Articles<br />

has been kept available and open for inspection at the offices of the Company as well as at the office of SNS<br />

Securities in accordance with the law and the Articles.<br />

The chairman notes that there are no questions and will go over to the voting. The chairman notes that there<br />

are 3,355,957 votes against the proposal, no abstentions and 95,476,731 votes in favour of the proposal.<br />

Consequently, the proposal has been adopted. The chairman proceeds to the next item on the agenda.<br />

9. Any other business<br />

The chairman invites those present to bring up other items then the items on the agenda. He notes that as<br />

these items were not part of the agenda, any item to be brought up will be for discussion purposes only and will<br />

not be voted on.<br />

Mr. Burgers, representing Add Value Fund, suggests and recommends to organize a investment day specifically<br />

for investors, to put forward the Company to a much broader audience. With respect to the equity incentive<br />

plan, he asks if all employees of the Company are in a position to become a shareholder under such plan.<br />

The chairman answers that the Company has changed its policies in this respect. With a view to the whole<br />

strategy of the Company, the growth for the next year and the fact that the experience is that equity incentive<br />

plans in and outside the Dutch environment do not always work quit good, the Management Board holds the<br />

view that very important people for the Company, such as top executives, big client partners and creative<br />

directors should qualify for the new equity incentive plan. For many other employees, the Company has really<br />

interesting KPI's and bonus plans in place. The chairman further notes that the Company has three analysts<br />

covering the Company in the Netherlands and a fourth covering the Company internationally.<br />

Closure<br />

No more business being before the Meeting, the chairman closes the Meeting at 15:35 hours CET.<br />

A copy of these minutes will be sent to the Management Board in order to enable the Management Board to<br />

keep record of the resolutions adopted.


These minutes are adopted on 11 July 2011 by the chairman and the secretary of the Meeting and as evidence<br />

thereof are signed by them.<br />
