Remote participation strongly requested in view of COVID-19

In view of the measures taken by the Dutch government as well as our own measures to protect the health and safety of all our stakeholders in response to COVID-19 (coronavirus), shareholders are strongly requested not to attend the Annual General Meeting in person, but to virtually attend the Annual General Meeting through a live webcast.

Registration date

In accordance with applicable statutory provisions, those persons will be entitled to vote at and/or attend this Annual General Meeting who on 15 April 2020, after processing all additions and deletions as of that date (the 'registration date'), have those rights and are entered as such in the register or sub register designated for that purpose by the Management Board.

Voting

Due to the orders imposed by the Dutch government in light of the COVID-19 (coronavirus), Beter Bed Holding N.V. feels obliged to limit the way shareholders will be able to exercise their voting rights in order to ensure the health and safety of its shareholders as well as board members. Therefore the only wayshareholders can exercise their voting rights at the Annual General Meeting is by giving a proxy and voting instruction. Allshareholders should submit an electronic proxy, including a voting instruction through www.abnamro.com/evoting. We have extended the deadline for submitting such instructions until 11 May 2020 by 17.00 hours CET. Shareholders that do not have the opportunity to electronically submit a voting instruction, may also submit a voting instruction in writing for the attention of the Management Board. Notwithstanding the above, the Management Board must have received the written proxy no later than 11 May 2020, before 17.00 hours CET.

Virtual attendance

Beter Bed Holding N.V. wishes to assist its shareholders to attend its Annual General Meeting virtually by providing an adequate opportunity to follow the proceedings of the meeting throughout the meeting. Shareholders can attend the entire meeting via the internet, therefore online and remote with their own smartphone, tablet or personal computer. Shareholders attending the meeting virtually will however not be able to speak or otherwise comment during the meeting.

Beter Bed Holding N.V. is inviting shareholders to submit up to five questions in relation to the agenda items prior to the meeting. Shareholders are invited to address any such questions to the Company Secretary by e-mailbbholding@beterbed.nlby 4 May 2020 before 17.00 hours CET, hereby including their name and shareholder's certificate number, which can be obtained from their bank. Beter Bed Holding N.V. may bundle questions and/or postpone answering questions if answering the number of questions exceeds the time frame of the Annual General Meeting.

Shareholders who have voted by electronic proxy with voting instruction will receive proof of voting by email or post, in which the procedure to follow the live webcast shall be specified.

Shareholders must log in and complete the admission procedure as indicated in the proof of vote before 14.00 hours CET on the day of the meeting. After this time registration is no longer possible; shareholders who log in afterwards will only have access to the live stream to follow the meeting.
