AMX said it will, subject to certain conditions, vote in favour of certain resolutions to be put before the general meeting of shareholders. The AGM is scheduled to take place on 10 April, and replaces the EGM planned for 19 March, which is hereby cancelled. AMX will approve KPN's capital increase subject to to the appointment of two individuals, designated by AMX, to KPN's supervisory board, amongst other conditions. The capital to be supported by AMX will consist of a EUR 3 billion rights issue and the issue of hybrid capital instruments which are expected to receive partial equity recognition, bringing the total to EUR 4 billion. KPN will use the proceeds to reduce its net debt level and to continue investing in operations. AMX will participate in the rights issue pro rata to its current stake of around 28 percent in KPN. KPN said that it and AMX look forward to further developing their relationship by leveraging the financial, commercial and operational expertise of both parties.
