Heineken Holding N.V. Amends Agenda for Annual General Meeting of Shareholders

• Item 6a) Extension and amendment of the authorisation of the Board of Directors to acquire own shares 

The original proposal reflected a change in Dutch legislation, which now permits the repurchase of 50% of the issued share capital. However, given shareholder feedback and only a theoretical possibility that Heineken Holding N.V. would take advantage of the new legislation, the proposal will be amended in such a way that the maximum number of shares that may be acquired under the authorisation will remain limited to 10% of the issued share capital of the company.
