In this process we are carefully considering and weighing the interests of our shareholders, employees, customers and other stakeholders on financial and non-financial matters including safeguarding the vital role of KPN in Dutch society. We understand there are many questions about the Intended Offer. We believe however it is important to conduct these discussions in confidence, and expect to provide more clarity at a later stage.”

KPN will keep its shareholders and all other stakeholders informed of material developments if and when appropriate.
