Amsterdam Exchanges Introduction Of Traded-But-Not-Listed Category

Date 31/07/2000

As from August 15, 2000, the Dutch Daily Official List (Officiele Prijscourant) will publish details of prices and turnover for certain securities whose issuers have not concluded a listing agreement with Amsterdam Exchanges N.V. This information will be presented in a new "Verhandeling" (trades-but-not-listed) section.

As listing agreements have not been concluded for these securities, their issuers are not governed by the Listing and Issuing Rules.

As Amsterdam Exchanges has no responsibility for ensuring that information is published in the Netherlands and cannot ensure that stock exchanges where those securities are listed actually do so, the supply of information relating to these securities is dependent on the requirements imposed on the issuers in those countries where they have an official stock exchange listing. Please see AEX announcements (on the AEX website www.aex.nl) - 2000-052 and 2000-053 - dated 21 March 2000.

The rules governing the trade in these securities are set out in the "Trading Rules for securities not listed on AEX Stock Exchange".
