Triodos Bank is a values driven pioneering bank, in terms of our mission and what we do. To help you understand our protection of the values better, this is a brief explanation of the Bank’s ownership structure.

Triodos Bank believes that it is crucial that its mission and independence is protected. So all the Bank’s ordinary shares (‘Shares’) are held in a special trust called the Foundation for the Administration of Triodos Bank Shares, or SAAT to use its Dutch abbreviation.

Depository Receipts represent shares in Triodos Bank. SAAT issues these Depository Receipts for Triodos Bank Shares to the public and institutions. If you choose to invest you will own Depository Receipts representing Shares issued by SAAT.

As well as issuing them, SAAT exercises all of the voting rights for Triodos Bank Shares. Triodos Bank Depository Receipts are not listed on any stock exchange.

Depository Receipts give you voting rights in the Meeting of Depository Receipts Holders. Depository Receipts do not give you any voting rights in the Annual General Meeting of shareholders but they do give you the rights to receive dividend payments subject to the performance of the bank.

As a UK resident you are subject to UK tax. But by investing in this offering your investment will also be subject to tax in the Netherlands. The value of your investment will be affected by taxes levied in the Netherlands because Triodos Bank is resident there. In particular, part of any dividend paid to you by Triodos Bank will be retained by the Dutch tax authorities (Netherlands withholding tax) and may not be recouped by you under any tax treaty between the UK and the Netherlands. Legislation relating to taxation in both countries is subject to change and any future changes may adversely affect the value of your investment. There are further details on the risks associated with investing in the prospectus which you should read thoroughly.

You can request a transfer from your existing Triodos Bank savings account on the application form (excluding bond accounts). When we receive your completed application with this request we will make the transfer on your behalf. If your account has a notice period we will make the transfer immediately and you will not be charged an early access penalty charge.
