It is our pleasure to report to you on the activities of your company over the course of the 2021 financial year. The previous year was marked by the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, which had a major impact on the worldwide economy and on human behaviour.

The situation underwent a complete change in 2021, under the combined effects of the massive support provided by various governments and the adoption of mandatory precautionary measures and the widespread vaccination of the population.

BREDERODE's net profit for the 2021 financial year was € 1,036 million, up almost 300% over that of the previous year and higher than that of any previous financial year. This performance was due mainly to the results of Private Equity (€ 817 million), combined with the very good performance of the Listed Securities portfolio (€ 218 million).

During the 2021 financial year, BREDERODE net value per share rose from € 91.19 to € 125.45, an increase that, taking into account the distribution of € 1.08 per share to shareholders in the course of the financial year, represents a growth of almost 39%. During the same period, earnings per share rose from € 8.94 to € 35.34.

The Board of Directors decided, at its meeting held on 4 March 2022, to propose to the General Meeting to be held on 11 May next to vote in favour of a distribution to shareholders of € 1.15 per share. Such a distribution would make it possible to devote € 1,000 million to augmenting the equity capital. If the General Meeting approves this dividend proposal, it would represent an increase of 6.5% in the remuneration of shareholders and the 19th consecutive annual increase.
