Annual General Meeting of May 25, <strong>2011</strong><br />
The General Meeting of shareholders of <strong>Fortuna</strong> <strong>Entertainment</strong> <strong>Group</strong> NV was held on 25 May <strong>2011</strong> in<br />
Amsterdam. It was attended by shareholders who together hold 73.18% of share capital and voting rights and<br />
therefore, it had a quorum. At the <strong>Fortuna</strong> AGM, all of the resolutions that were subject to shareholder approval<br />
were adopted. The adopted resolutions were the following:<br />
The General Meeting of <strong>Fortuna</strong> <strong>Entertainment</strong> <strong>Group</strong> NV adopted the statutory financial statements of the<br />
Company for the financial years 2009 and 2010 as drawn up by the Management Board and approved by<br />
the Supervisory Board. The financial statements of the Company for the financial year 2009 were prepared<br />
under Dutch law by the Management Board and audited and provided with the unqualified auditor’s report by<br />
Ernst & Young Accountants LLP. The annual accounts for the financial year 2010 were prepared in accordance<br />
with International Financial <strong>Report</strong>ing Standards as adopted by the European Union and with Part 9 of Book<br />
2 of the Dutch Civil Code by the Management Board and audited and provided with the unqualified auditor’s<br />
report by Ernst & Young Accountants LLP, the Company’s external auditor.<br />
The General Meeting adopted the Company’s financial statements for the financial year 2009 and the<br />
Company’s annual accounts for the financial year 2010.<br />
The General Meeting approved the Management Board’s proposal to effect gross dividend payments of <strong>EU</strong>R<br />
0.30 in cash per share with a nominal value of one eurocent (<strong>EU</strong>R 0.01) for the financial year 2010. The<br />
dividend record date was set at 8 June <strong>2011</strong>. Actual payment of dividend shall ultimately occur on 24 June<br />
<strong>2011</strong>.<br />
The proposal was based on a diligent analysis of the Company’s results and anticipated performance made<br />
by the Company’s Management Board, after taking into account any circumstances that may have a negative<br />
impact on the Company’s freely distributable reserves, including the Company’s business prospects, future<br />
earnings, cash requirements, envisaged costs and expenses as well as expansion plans and provided that<br />
such dividend payment would not impair the capital structure of the Company. The dividend proposal is<br />
in accordance with the communicated dividend policy - the dividend payout ratio is 70 - 100% of the net<br />
profit from continuing operations (consolidated accounts). The proposed dividend pay-out for 2010 represents<br />
approximately 90% of net profit from continuing operations (consolidated accounts).<br />
In accordance with the advice of the Audit Committee, the Annual General Meeting appointed Ernst & Young<br />
Accountants LLP as the external auditor of the Company, for the financial year <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
