Annual Report 2008 Sustainable design & engineering - Grontmij

Information for shareholders
During 2008, a new employee share-ownership scheme was introduced. The new scheme is designed for all Grontmij employees
with the exception of the members of the Executive Board. So far, the scheme has been rolled out in the Netherlands, the United
Kingdom, Ireland and Poland. Under the new scheme and based on a resolution of the Executive Board, employees may, up to a
certain percentage of their fixed income, invest in the company through Stichting Employee Share Purchase Plan. The employee
acquires participations in Stichting Employee Share Purchase Plan, which in turn buys a corresponding number of depositary
receipts in Grontmij N.V. on Euronext Amsterdam. The participations are issued at a discount of 15% of the underlying market
value of the depositary receipts. Participations must be retained for a period of three years. After this period, each employee
receives one additional participation for every four participations he or she holds. Matching participations and their corresponding
initial participations must be held for a further two years before they can be sold. As in the other plan, the employee incurs no
transaction or custody fees. At the end of 2008, 32 members of staff were registered for 1,973 participations.
The maximum amount that may be invested through these schemes is set at 5% of the issued share capital of Grontmij N.V.
There are no options schemes available at Grontmij.
