<strong>Report</strong> of the Supervisory Board<br />
Financial statements and dividend<br />
The financial statements for <strong>2008</strong> were prepared and endorsed by the Executive Board pursuant to their statutory obligation<br />
under article 2:101 (2) of the Dutch Civil Code and article 2:25c (2c) of the Financial Markets Supervision Act. The statements<br />
were discussed by the Supervisory Board in the presence of the external auditor. After the review of the unqualified opinion<br />
provided by KPMG Accountants N.V., as well as the findings of the external auditor as summarised in a report to the Board<br />
of Supervisory Directors and the Executive Board, the financial statements were endorsed by all members of the Board of<br />
Supervisory Directors pursuant to their statutory obligation under article 2:101 (2) Dutch civil code. The Supervisory Board<br />
recommends the <strong>Annual</strong> General Meeting of Shareholders adopt these financial accounts. In addition, it recommends that<br />
the Executive and Supervisory Boards be discharged from liability in respect of the managerial and supervisory duties<br />
respectively that they have performed.<br />
The Supervisory Board has approved the Executive Board’s proposal to add € 18.8 million of the result after tax and minority<br />
interest of € 38.3 million (2007: € 32.7 million) to the other reserves. It further recommends the <strong>Annual</strong> General Meeting of<br />
Shareholders approves the remaining € 19.5 million to be paid out as dividend of € 1.15 (2007: € 1.10) per share.<br />
The Supervisory Board regrets the resignation of CFO Douwe van der Werf as per March 31, 2009 but is grateful for his enormous<br />
dedication to the company over the past five years and wishes him every success on the road ahead.<br />
As the Supervisory Board of <strong>Grontmij</strong>, we would like to extend our thanks to management and employees. It is their ongoing<br />
commitment to <strong>Grontmij</strong> that has generated such excellent results.<br />
