Meeting Depository Receipt holders of SAAT votes for ‘one share one vote’
During the Meeting of the Foundation for the Administration of Triodos Bank Shares (SAAT) on 23 March 2023, the new voting policy of SAAT was up for vote.
The depository receipt holders have chosen for the so called ‘one share one vote’ policy. This means that as a principle, SAAT will not vote during the general meetings of Triodos Bank N.V., except when depository receipt holders actively request SAAT to exercise their voting rights on their behalf.
During the EGM on the same day an update on the MTF process was provided and the intended amendments of the Articles of Association of Triodos Bank to make them more suitable for a listed environment, were discussed.

Announcement of the estimated economic value of certificates as of 1 January 2023
As Triodos Bank is a Dutch financial institution, part of its legal reporting requirements is to periodically submit data of fiscal relevance to the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration.
Due to this legal reporting requirement, the economic value, or ‘fair value’, of Triodos Bank depository receipts must be determined as per 1 January 2023. As there is currently no trading in the depository receipts, the economic value can only be estimated. Today we issued a press release announcing the estimated economic value of certificates as of 1 January 2023. Read the press release.

Triodos Bank proposes an extraordinary dividend and withdraws restricted buyback programme
Triodos Bank proposed an extraordinary dividend payment of EUR 1.01 (before withholding tax, if applicable) per Depository Receipt (DR), to the amount of EUR 14.4 million. This amount equals the capital reserved for the buyback programme and solidarity arrangement and will thus be paid back to DR holders. The dividend is subject to approval by the shareholder at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be scheduled in October 2022.
A restricted buyback programme including a solidarity arrangement was announced in February 2022. Due to unforeseen complexities in the implementation of the programme at the same pace across the five countries where Triodos Bank is active, Triodos Bank has concluded that the restricted buyback programme and the solidarity arrangement can no longer be executed in a timely manner.

5 January 2021
Temporary closure for buy and sell orders of Triodos Bank N.V. Depository Receipts
Triodos Bank N.V. temporarily stopped offering depository receipts from 5 January 2021. Sell orders are temporarily not accepted.
Since reopening trade on 13 October 2020, after an earlier period of suspension, a trade pattern emerged where the number of sell orders outweighed the number of buy orders for Depository Receipts. In the UK, where Depository Receipts are no longer on sale, the resumption of trade only enabled DRs to be sold on a limited basis.
This trend emerged despite the financial health of the bank, as our capital and liquidity ratios remain well above regulatory minimum levels. The ongoing uncertainty around the Covid-19 crisis and its longer-term economic effects have not disappeared.
This poses the question what measures we can take, to achieve balanced trading, as we now must assume that previous trading patterns will likely not recover in the foreseeable future. The details of possible new measures are considered relevant information for making an informed investment decision. As the measures are not concrete enough at the moment, this information cannot be disclosed. Therefore, trading in Depository Receipts is suspended until new measures can be communicated.
Resumption of trading
We will inform customers of Triodos Bank who are Depository Receipt holders as soon as the new measures have been agreed, via the website and through individual communication.
Decisions about new measures regarding trade are likely to take some time. DR holders are being regularly updated on the process.
