The distribution among the CVRs, should this occur, is as follows: It begins with the detection of a Trigger Event. A: CVR Trigger Event: the Paying Agent (Topco) notified this to Beneficiaries Beginn of Settlement Information Period = Period (3 month) from Settlement Information Period Commencement Date to Settlement Information Period Expiry Date A: CVR Trigger Event: 1. Any dividend becoming available for distribution by Topco to the Topco Shareholders (5 Stichtings) 2. Any other return on equity capital becoming available for distribution by Topco to the Topco Shareholders. The rules for determining a Trigger Event are based on Topco's Articles of Association without triggering payments to the 5 Stichtings. After the Settlement Information Period Expiry Date the Paying Agent must pay an amount equal to its CVR Payment Proportion to every Eligible Beneficiary. For Beneficiaries who are not Eligible Beneficiaries as at the Settlement Information Period Expiry Date the Paying Agent must hold any Unclaimed CVR Amount on trust for the Ineligible Beneficiaries. Any Unclaimed CVR Amount held by the Paying Agent shall be held for a period of six (6) months from the Settlement Information Period Expiry Date. If the Ineligible Beneficiary, prior to the expiry of the Hold Period, becomes an Eligible Beneficiary, its CVR Payment Proportion shall be distributed to it. After this 6 months Period, the Unclaimed CVR Amount shall be distributed to the Eligible Beneficiaries at such time (in the proportion that each Eligible Beneficiary’s CVR Proportion bears to the aggregate CVR Proportions of all Eligible Beneficiaries. The unclaimed CVRs are not distributed to the entitled holders, only the payments on the CVRs.
