Randstad and VEB submit petition for certification Vedior settlement

Randstad Holding nv, as the legal successor of Vedior N.V., and the VEB (the Dutch Shareholders Association) have jointly submitted a petition with the Amsterdam Court of Appeal under the Dutch Act on the Collective Settlement of Mass Claims (WCAM) to have the settlement for (former) Vedior shareholders, as announced on 1 February 2008, certified.
This is the result of an agreement reached between Vedior and the VEB before the transaction between Vedior and Randstad was completed in May 2008.

For (former) shareholders who sold Vedior shares on Friday morning 30 November 2007 between 9.00 am and 11.34 am, prior to the public announcement on the discussions between Vedior and Randstad, an amount of € 4,462,500.00 will be made available. This amount includes a 5% mark-up to cover expenses relating to the execution of the settlement. The settlement provides these shareholders with approximately 80% compensation for the difference between the sale price of their shares compared to the price when trading was resumed at 1.20 pm that day.
