Common Shares - par value

PHG

New York Stock Exchange

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in Philips’ annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 30 June 2019.

COMMON SHARES

The following description of our common shares is a summary and does not purport to be complete. It is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the Articles of Association, as amended from time to time.

A copy of the Articles of Association is filed as an exhibit to Philips’ annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as Exhibit 1.1.

General

The authorized capital of Philips is 800,000,000 euros comprised of 2,000,000,000 common shares of 0.20 euro each, and 2,000,000,000 preference shares of 0.20 euro each. The authorized capital may be increased by a shareholders’ resolution approved by the Supervisory Board and subsequent amendment to the Articles of Association.

The common shares are held in bearer form (through the system of Euroclear Nederland) and in registered form. Holders of shares of New York Registry hold their common shares in registered form.

Dividend rights

A dividend will first be declared on preference shares out of net income. The Board of Management has the power to determine what portion of the net income shall be retained by way of reserve, subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board. The remainder of the net income, after reservations made, shall be available for distribution to holders of common shares subject to shareholder approval after year-end.

Dividends shall be made payable not later than the date determined by the Board of Management. Rights of payments of distributions in cash shall lapse if such distributions are not claimed within five years following the day after the date on which they were made available. In case of a distribution in shares, any shares not claimed within a period to be determined by the Board of Management shall be sold for the account of the persons entitled to the distribution who failed to claim the shares. These persons are entitled only to the net proceeds in cash of such a sale. This entitlement will be forfeited if the proceeds are not claimed within five years following the day after the date on which the distribution in shares was made payable.

Voting rights

Each common share and each preference share confers the right to cast one vote at the general meeting of shareholders. No votes may be cast at a general meeting of shareholders on shares held by us or our subsidiaries. All common shares vote together on all voting matters presented at a general meeting of shareholders.

The Articles of Association provide that there are no quorum requirements to hold a general meeting of shareholders and, unless specified otherwise in the Articles of Association, resolutions of the general meeting of shareholders shall be adopted by a simple majority of votes. Certain shareholder actions and certain resolutions may require a quorum.

Supervisory Board

Members of our Supervisory Board are appointed by the general meeting of shareholders upon a binding nomination made by our Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board must nominate at least one person or as many as the law requires for each vacancy to be filled on the Supervisory Board and the appointment must be made from among the persons so nominated. The list of such nominations shall be published on the Company’s website and deposited for shareholder inspection at the offices of the Company.

The general meeting of shareholders may deprive the binding character of the binding nominations for appointment to the Supervisory Board made by our Supervisory Board, if a resolution is passed by a simple majority of the votes cast which majority represents at least one-third of the issued share capital. In that event, a new binding nomination shall be submitted to a subsequent general meeting of shareholders in accordance with the provisions described above. If the second nomination is also rejected in the manner provided for above, the general meeting of shareholders shall be free to appoint a member to the Supervisory Board. If a simple majority of the votes cast is in favor of the resolution to deprive the list of nominees referred to above of its binding character, but such majority does not represent at least one-third of the issued share capital, a new meeting may be convened at which the resolution may be passed by a simple majority of the votes cast, regardless of the portion of the share capital represented by such majority.

The general meeting of shareholders may also suspend or dismiss any member of the Supervisory Board at any time by a simple majority of the votes cast at a meeting at which at least one-third of the issued share capital is represented (although no quorum is required if suspension or dismissal is proposed by the Supervisory Board).

Board of Management

The Company has a Board of Management. Members of our Board of Management are appointed by the general meeting of shareholders upon a binding nomination made by our Supervisory Board after consultation with the CEO. The Supervisory Board must nominate at least one person or as many as the law requires for each vacancy to be filled on the Board of Management and the election must be made from among the persons so nominated. The list of such nominations shall be published on the Company’s website and deposited for shareholder inspection at the offices of the Company.

The general meeting of shareholders may deprive the binding character of the binding nominations for appointment to the Board of Management made by our Supervisory Board, if a resolution is passed by a simple majority of the votes cast and which majority represents at least one-third of the issued share capital. In that event, a new binding nomination shall be submitted to a subsequent general meeting of shareholders in accordance with the provisions described above. If the second nomination is also rejected in the manner provided for above, the general meeting of shareholders shall be free to appoint a member to the Board of Management. If a simple majority of the votes cast is in favor of the resolution to deprive the list of nominees referred to above of its binding character, but such majority does not represent at least one-third of the issued share capital, a new meeting may be convened at which the resolution may be passed by a simple majority of the votes cast, regardless of the portion of the share capital represented by such majority.

Liquidation rights

In the event of the dissolution and liquidation of the Company, the assets remaining after payment of all debts and liquidation expenses are to be distributed in the following order of priority: to the holders of preference shares, the amount paid thereon and the remainder to the holders of the common shares.

Issue of shares and pre-emption rights

Our Board of Management may issue shares if and insofar as the Board of Management has been designated by the general meeting of shareholders as the authorized body for this purpose, subject to the approval of our Supervisory Board. A designation of the Board of Management will be effective for a specified period of up to five years and may be renewed. Currently, our Board of Management has been designated as the authorized body to issue shares up to and including November 8, 2020. The Board of Management must obtain the approval of the Supervisory Board to issue shares. If the Board of Management has not been designated, the general meeting of shareholders has the power to authorize the issuance of shares, upon the proposal of the Board of Management, which proposal must be approved by the Supervisory Board.

Shareholders have a pro rata pre-emption right to any common share issuance unless the right is restricted or excluded. If designated by the general meeting of shareholders, the Board of Management has the power to restrict or exclude the pre-emption rights. A designation of the Board of Management will be effective for a specified period of up to five years and may be renewed. Currently, our Board of Management has been granted the power to restrict or exclude the pre-emption rights accruing to shareholders up to and including November 8, 2020. If the Board of Management has not been designated, the general meeting of shareholders has the power to restrict or exclude such rights, upon the proposal of the Board of Management, which proposal must be approved by the Supervisory Board. Resolutions by the general meeting of shareholders referred to in this paragraph require approval of at least two-thirds of the votes cast if less than half of the issued share capital is represented at the meeting.

The foregoing provisions also apply to the issuance of rights to subscribe for shares. The authorization to issue shares or grant rights to acquire shares in the Company as well as to restrict or exclude the pre-emption right accruing to shareholders is limited to a maximum of 10% of the number of shares issued as of May 9, 2019.

Repurchase of common shares

We may repurchase our own shares subject to certain financial tests, but shares held in treasury may not be voted or counted for quorum purposes. Any purchases by us are subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board and the authorization from the general meeting of shareholders. Our Board of Management may be authorized by the general meeting of shareholders to repurchase our own shares for a specified period of up to eighteen months, which authorization may be renewed. Currently, our Board of Management is authorized to repurchase shares with the approval of the Supervisory Board up to and including November 8, 2020.

Amendments to the Articles of Association

Resolutions to amend our Articles of Association must be approved by the general meeting of shareholders. Resolutions to this effect proposed by shareholders must be approved by at least a three-fourths majority of the votes cast at a general meeting of shareholders at which more than half of the issued share capital is represented or, if the requisite capital is not represented, by a three-fourths majority of the votes cast at a new meeting held within eight weeks. If the resolution is proposed by the Board of Management, the adoption needs an absolute majority of votes and no quorum requirement applies to the meeting. All resolutions to amend the Articles of Association must also be approved by the Supervisory Board. Resolutions to amend the Articles of Association will not be valid unless the full text of such proposals has been deposited for inspection by shareholders at the office of the Company from the day on which the notice convening the general meeting of shareholders is delivered until the close of that meeting.

Limitations on right to hold or vote common shares

There are no limitations imposed by Dutch law or by our Articles of Association on the right of non-Dutch resident owners to hold or vote the common shares.

Change of control provisions in articles of association

No preference shares have been issued as of December 31, 2019. However, the Stichting Preferente Aandelen Philips (the “Foundation”), a foundation established under Dutch law, has been granted the right to acquire preference shares in our capital should a third party ever seem likely to gain (de facto) a controlling interest in the Company. The Foundation may exercise this right for as many preference shares as there are common shares in the Company outstanding at that time. The object of the Foundation is to represent the interests of the Company, the enterprises maintained by the Company and its affiliated companies within the Philips group, such that the interests of the Company, those enterprises and all parties involved with them are safeguarded as effectively as possible, and that they are afforded maximum protection against influences which, in conflict with those interests, may undermine the autonomy and identity of the Company and those enterprises, and also to do anything related to the above ends or conducive to them.

The Foundation has the right to file a petition with the Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal to commence an inquiry procedure within the meaning of section 2:344 Dutch Civil Code.

Disclosure of interests in common shares

The Dutch Act on Financial Supervision imposes an obligation on persons holding certain interests to disclose (inter alia) percentage holdings in the capital and/or voting rights in the Company when such holdings reach, exceed or fall below 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75 and 95 percent (as a result of an acquisition or disposal by a person, or as a result of a change in the company’s total number of voting rights or capital issued). Certain derivatives (settled in kind or in cash) are also taken into account when calculating the capital interest. The statutory obligation to disclose capital interest relates not only to gross long positions, but also to gross short positions. Required disclosures must be made to the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) without delay. The AFM then notifies the Company of such disclosures and includes them in a register which is published on the AFM’s website. Furthermore, an obligation to disclose (net) short positions is set out in the EU Regulation on Short Selling.

Shareholder rights

Shareholders have voting rights and are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to voting at the general meeting of shareholders. One or more shareholders who solely or jointly represent at least 1% of the issued share capital or hold shares which represent at least fifty million euro according to the Official List of Euronext Amsterdam may request to include items on the agenda of a general meeting of shareholders. One or more Shareholders who solely or jointly represent 10% of the issued share capital may request the Board of Management and Supervisory Board to convene a General Meeting. See also under "Dividend rights" and "Liquidation rights".

Shareholders may inspect the annual accounts, management report, audit statement and other additional information of the Company as prescribed by Dutch law at the Company's office from the day of the notice convening the Annual General Meeting at which these documents are to be considered.

Common share certificates and transfer

The common shares are either in registered or in bearer form. Holders of registered common shares will be entered in our shareholders’ register. The common shares quoted on the New York Stock Exchange are available in registered form only. Our shareholders’ register is maintained partly in New York, New York, known as the New York Registry, by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, our transfer agent and registrar, and partly in The Netherlands, known as the Eindhoven Registry, by or on behalf of us. At the request of a registered shareholder, we will, without fee, issue a non-negotiable extract from the shareholders’ register in the name of the holder unless a certificate has been issued for the holder’s registered common share. A deed of transfer, together with our acknowledgment in writing, is required to transfer registered shares.

The common shares listed on the stock market of the Amsterdam Exchange are common shares in bearer form embodied in a global note, which is lodged with Nederlands Centraal Instituut voor Giraal Effectenverkeer B.V., the Dutch clearing house known as NECIGEF, for safe-keeping on behalf of the parties entitled to such common shares. The common shares in bearer form can only be transferred through the securities transfer system of NECIGEF.

Persons who are not DTC participants may beneficially own common shares registered in the New York Registry in the name of DTC only through direct or indirect participants in DTC. So long as Cede & Co., as the nominee of DTC, is the registered owner of common shares traded on the NYSE, Cede & Co. for all purposes will be considered the shareholder of such shares. Accordingly, any person owning a beneficial interest in common shares traded on the NYSE must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a shareholder. We understand that, under existing industry practice, in the event that an owner of a beneficial interest in common shares traded on the NYSE desires to take any action that Cede & Co., as the shareholder, is entitled to take, Cede & Co. would authorize the participants to take such action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners holding interest through such participants to take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding interests through them.

Common shares traded on the NYSE may be transferred on our books at the office of our transfer agent and registrar. Certificates representing common shares traded on the NYSE may be exchanged at such office for certificates representing common shares traded on the NYSE of other denominations, provided, however, that such certificates are available only in such denominations as our Board of Management determines. Under Dutch law, the transfer of our registered shares requires a written instrument of transfer and written acknowledgment by the issuer of such transfer.


Royal Philips - 20-F Exhibit 4 (a)

Exhibit 4 (a)

Services contract between the Company and Mr F.A. van Houten


The following contract is the services contract of Mr F.A. van Houten, containing terms and conditions for the provision of services and other arrangements that apply with effect from May 9, 2019 (“the Commencement Date”) as member of the Board of Management of Royal Philips (“Koninklijke Philips N.V.”, hereinafter also referred to as “the Company”)

1. Commencement of Engagement


a. Subject to the terms and conditions of this contract for the provision of services (the “Contract“) the Company hereby engages you as independent contractor starting on the Commencement Date to fulfill the role of member of the Board of Management of the Company as President & Chief Executive Officer and, in conjunction with such role, of member of the Executive Committee of the Company. As a member of the Executive Committee you will perform your duties and responsibilities attached to that function within the corporate governance framework of the Company. In your capacity as member of the Board of Management of the Company you will have and observe all rights and obligations pursuant to the articles of association of the Company, the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Management and Executive Committee, and statutory provisions. By signing this Contract, you declare that you have received a copy of the Company’s articles of association and abovementioned Rules of Procedure and that you are familiar with their content.

b. The terms and conditions set forth in this Contract and its annexes replace the terms and conditions as laid down in any (previous) employment or services agreements and/or other written or verbal understandings you may have (had) with the Company and/or other companies belonging to the Philips Group. By entering into this Contract all prior contracts of employment and/or prior contracts for the provision of services (if any) with the Company and/or other companies belonging to the Philips Group are explicitly terminated.

c. This Contract is a contract for the provision of services, as defined in articles 7:400 and further of the Dutch Civil Code (“DCC”). You acknowledge and agree that, pursuant to article 2:132 section 3 DCC, your relationship with the Company and/or this Contract cannot be regarded an employment agreement as defined in article 7:610 DCC and further.

d. In this Contract the Company and you are together referred to as the “Parties” and each of you as a “Party”.

2. Duration of the Engagement


a. The Contract shall be entered into for a fixed period of time. The Contract shall start on the Commencement Date and shall terminate by operation of law, without any prior notice being required, on the last day of the quarter in which the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company in the fourth calendar year following the Commencement Date takes place (the “Contract End Date”), it being understood that for the period between such Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and the Contract End Date you shall act as an advisor to the Company.

b. No later than six months before the Contract End Date the Parties will discuss a possible extension of the Contract. The Contract will terminate in any event, without prior notice of termination being required, at the first day of the month following the month in which you have reached the state pension age based on the AOW (“Algemene Ouderdomswet”) or future legislation amending the state pension age based on the AOW.

c. Both Parties shall have the right to terminate this Contract before the Contract End Date or (if renewed) before any later Contract expiration date against the end of a calendar month by giving written notice of termination. In this respect, the Parties agree to adhere to a notice period of six (6) months. If notice of termination is given by a Party for urgent cause (‘dringende reden’), no notice period applies for the Party giving notice. For the definition of urgent cause (‘dringende reden’), reference is made to article 7:678 DCC and further.

d. If you are dismissed by the General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company, or if you resign, as member of the Board of Management of the Company (and, in direct relation thereto, as member of the Executive Committee of the Company) this Contract is terminated by operation of law without any prior notice of termination being required, which termination shall take effect (i) as per the date six (6) months after the end of the calendar month in which the General Meeting of Shareholders has adopted the resolution pursuant to which you are dismissed as member of the Board of Management of the Company, or, as the case may be, (ii) as per the date six (6) months after the end of the calendar month in which you have submitted your written resignation as member of the Board of Management of the Company. In deviation from the previous sentence, this Contract shall terminate with immediate effect as from the date per which (i) the General Meeting of Shareholders has dismissed you as member of the Board of Management of the Company, or, as the case may be, (ii) you have resigned as member of the Board of Management of the Company, in the event such dismissal or resignation (as the case may be) is given/made for urgent cause (‘dringende reden’). For the definition of urgent cause (‘dringende reden’), reference is made to article 7:678 DCC and further.

e. In deviation from clause 2 (c), the Company cannot terminate this Contract during the first two (2) years of your sickness or incapacity for work (although it can already give notice of termination), except when notice of termination is given by the Company (i) for urgent cause (‘dringende reden’) or (ii) prior to the first day of your sickness/incapacity for work. In deviation from clause 2 (d), in the event of your dismissal as member of the Board of Management of the Company by the General Meeting of Shareholders during your sickness or incapacity for work other than for urgent cause (‘dringende reden’) and after the first day of your sickness/incapacity for work, this Contract shall terminate at the later of (i) the date which is six (6) months after the end of the calendar month in which the General Meeting of Shareholders has adopted the resolution pursuant to which you are dismissed as member of the Board of Management of the Company, or (ii) the date of your recovery from sickness/incapacity for work, but no later than at the date on which the incapacity for work has lasted for two (2) years. For the definition of urgent cause (‘dringende reden’), reference is made to article 7:678 DCC and further. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this clause does not prevent the competent body from dismissing you as member of the Board of Management of the Company.

f. If the Contract is terminated at the initiative of the Company (whereby your dismissal by the General Meeting of Shareholders as member of the Board of Management of the Company shall also be deemed a termination “at the initiative of the Company” for the purposes of this clause) or by mutual agreement (at the initiative of the Company) before the Contract End Date, or before any other expiration date if the Contract has been renewed, other than for urgent cause (‘dringende reden’), you shall be entitled to a one off compensation in the amount of one time your Annual Base Compensation as defined in clause 3 hereof. For the definition of urgent cause (‘dringende reden’), reference is made to article 7:678 DCC and further. You shall not be entitled to such payment if the Contract is terminated immediately following a period of your long lasting sickness or disability which has lasted two years or longer (periods of incapacity for work that follow one another at intervals of less than four weeks shall be deemed one consecutive period of incapacity for work for the purposes of this clause).

g. If the Company does not elect to renew the Contract (e.g. because you are not re-appointed by the General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company as member of the Board of Management of the Company upon expiration of your term of appointment) you shall not be entitled to the compensation referred to above under f. but shall instead be entitled to a lump sum of one time your Annual Base Compensation divided by 12, times the number of months you still have to serve before reaching the state pension age based on the AOW (“Algemene Ouderdomswet”) or future legislation amending the state pension age based on the AOW, with a maximum of one time your Annual Base Compensation.

h. In case of termination of the Contract, you will resign, with effect from a date to be determined by the Company but ultimately per the effective date of such termination, as member of the Board of Management and, in direct relation thereto, as member of the Executive Committee of the Company.

i. The compensation as referred to in clauses f) and g) above, shall be deemed to include any amounts that may be payable to you in connection with the enforcement of the non-competition clause as set forth in the General Terms of Employment that are – mutatis mutandis – applicable to you.

3. Compensation


Your annual compensation as of the Commencement Date amounts to EUR 1,325,000 gross, which amount includes holiday allowances, to be paid in twelve equal monthly installments after deduction of the statutory tax and social security premiums to be withheld by the Company. Annual review and subsequent upwards adjustment, if any, of your annual compensation, will be determined at the discretion of the Supervisory Board of the Company and on the advice of the Remuneration Committee of the Supervisory Board. Only compensation increases determined and approved by the Supervisory Board will replace the compensation amount mentioned above. You will be informed in writing by means of a compensation statement. The annual compensation as may be amended on the basis of this clause from time to time shall be referred to as the Annual Base Compensation.

4. Annual Incentive


In addition to the Annual Base Compensation, you shall be eligible each year for an annual incentive, subject to certain targets being met. This incentive shall be determined annually by the Supervisory Board. You shall be notified in writing of these annual incentive targets. The on-target (= 100% score) annual incentive amount to be realized by you is currently set by the Supervisory Board at 100% of your Annual Base Compensation. The Supervisory Board shall determine in its sole reasonable discretion to what extent the annual incentive targets have been met.

5. Long Term Incentive Plan


The Supervisory Board, where relevant within the framework approved by the Company’s General Meeting of Shareholders, can decide by discretion to grant Performance Shares under the Global Philips Performance Share Plan and/or other equity related incentives to the members of the Board of Management on a year-to-year basis. As a member of the Board of Management you are in principle eligible to participate in such plan. The Long Term Incentive grant value equals 200% of your Annual Base Compensation. To improve Philips’ Corporate Governance and to further align the interests of senior Philips Executives with the interests of our shareholders, you are required to hold a certain level of Philips shares equal to 400% of your actual Annual Base Compensation. The Supervisory Board may decide to adapt the Philips Share Ownership Guidelines on an annual basis.

The minimum number of Philips shares required to be held can be accumulated by:

For further details you are referred to the Philips Share Ownership Guidelines Executive Committee in the enclosed Information Package.

6. Claw back


The Supervisory Board may in its sole discretion but acting in good faith, resolve to recoup some or all of the incentive compensation -including any benefits derived therefrom- in all appropriate cases (taking into account all relevant factors, including whether the assertion of a recoupment claim may in its opinion prejudice the interests of the Company and its group companies in any related proceeding or investigation), granted to you as an Annual Incentive, as Performance Shares grants, as shares acquired by you under such grants, as other equity related incentive or otherwise (hereinafter referred to as ‘Incentive Compensation’), if:

a. The Incentive Compensation has been paid, granted, vested and/or delivered on the basis of incorrect financial or other data; or

b. In assessing the extent to which the relevant performance conditions and/or targets in relation to the payment, grant, vesting and/or delivery of the Incentive Compensation was satisfied, such assessment was based on an error, inaccurate or misleading information or assumptions and that such error, information or assumptions would have resulted or did in fact result either directly or indirectly in that payment, grant, vesting and/or delivery (or being capable thereof) to a greater degree than would have been the case had that error not been made; or

c. There are circumstances which would allow the Company to terminate this Contract for urgent cause (‘dringende reden’) (whereby for the definition of urgent cause (‘dringende reden’) reference is made to article 7:678 DCC and further), where such circumstances arose in, or related to, a period relevant to the date of payment, grant, vesting and/or delivery; or

d. You were involved in, or directly or indirectly responsible for a serious violation of the Philips General Business Principles or applicable law; or

e. The Company or the business in which you work/worked, or for which you were responsible, suffered a material failure of risk management, or

f. Something which occurred in the period relevant to the payment, grant, vesting and/or delivery has a sufficiently significant impact on the reputation of the Company or its group members to justify the operation of a recoupment claim.

By accepting a payment, grant, vesting and/or delivery of the Incentive Compensation, you agree to fully co-operate with the Company in order to give effect to this clause. Furthermore by accepting any payment, grant, vesting and/or delivery of the Incentive Compensation you provide an irrevocable power of attorney to the Company to transfer any shares held by you in the account administered by the Company’s global plan administrator and to perform any other acts necessary or desirable to give effect to this clause. This power of attorney is governed by Dutch law exclusively.

7. Pension Rights


As from the Commencement Date, you shall be included in the Pension Regulations of “Stichting Philips Pensioenfonds” applicable to executives, in respect of your pensionable salary up to the current statutory limit of EUR 105,075 which may change from time to time (“Statutory Pensionable Salary”) if and as soon as you meet the requirements set out in those pension regulations. In respect of your pensionable salary exceeding the Statutory Pensionable Salary, you shall be entitled to the pension allowance applicable as of January 1, 2015 to members of the Executive Committee, in accordance with the rules and conditions governing this pension allowance. The level of the pension allowance is and remains at the discretion of the Company. Currently the pension allowance for the part of your Annual Base Compensation exceeding the Statutory Pensionable Salary is set at 25% of your Annual Base Compensation exceeding the Statutory Pensionable Salary. In addition you will receive an individual transition allowance of EUR 262,200 per annum (gross) (the “Transition Allowance”) for the duration of the Contract.

8. Car/Mobility Allowance


You are entitled to a monthly Car/Mobility Allowance amounting to EUR 3,080. The Car/Mobility allowance can be used for a leased company car or to be paid out in monthly (gross) installments. You are not entitled to conclude a new lease agreement or switch to the cash alternative before the expiration date of the present lease agreement. Your current personal contribution, if any, will be recalculated as per the Commencement Date.

9. Allowances


  • Business Entertainment Expenses Allowance

With respect to your position within the Company, you may be eligible for a fixed allowance for business entertainment expenses. Currently the tax-free allowance in your case is EUR 29,040 per annum. This sum is meant to enable you amongst others to cover the expenses you incur in entertaining guests on behalf of the Company.

  • For the use of your home for representative purposes

You may be eligible for a fixed allowance of EUR 6,800 tax-free per annum to cover use of your own home for representative purposes. The above-mentioned allowances will be paid in four equal installments at the end of each quarter. Parties agree that changes in fiscal legislation could make it necessary or desirable for the Company to change the above arrangement.

10. Senior Executive Ambassador Program


You are invited to participate in the Senior Executive Ambassador Program to use Philips products that will be made available to you at your home.

11. Insurances


a. Accident Insurance

You will be covered by a 24-hours accident insurance policy. The maximum sum insured is three times your gross Annual Base Compensation. We refer you to the chapter benefits in the Information Package.

b. Directors and Officers Liability Insurance

You will be an Insured Person under the Directors and Officers liability insurance taken out by the Company. Subject to its terms and conditions, the Directors and Officers liability insurance policy protects your personal assets against liabilities and reimburse defense costs that arise based on your acts or omissions in your capacity as member of the Board of Management and Executive Committee. A copy of the Directors and Officers liability insurance policy (or a summary thereof) will be made available upon your request.

12. Incapacity for work


The present Company policy for Executive Committee members with regard to incapacity for work or sickness is that for a maximum period of three years from the start of disablement, but at the very latest up to the end of the Contract, the balance between your Annual Base Compensation at the start of the total disability and the aggregate amount of any statutory allowance distributed to you on account of the total disablement together with possible allowances distributed for the same reason by the Philips Pension Fund will - subject to your compliance with the Company’s directives - be paid by the Company. The Company shall not be bound by the aforesaid obligation if you have a claim against third parties in respect of your disablement. Upon surrender to the Company of such claim - in so far as it relates to loss of Annual Base Compensation - an amount equal to the aforesaid balance shall - but for no longer than the period stated in the foregoing clause - be paid by the Company in advance. This policy is subject to change at the discretion of the Company. No compensation will be paid in case the new policy is less favorable than the present policy.

13. Holidays


The holiday entitlement for members of the Board of Management is 25 working days per calendar year.

14. General Terms of engagement


By signing the Contract, you declare to have received, to have read and to agree with the General Terms of Employment of the Company, which apply mutatis mutandis to your engagement and are attached to this Contract as Annex 1.

The following contract is the services contract of Mr A. Bhattacharya, containing terms and conditions for the provision of services and other arrangements that apply with effect from May 9, 2019 (“the Commencement Date”) as member of the Board of Management of Royal Philips (“Koninklijke Philips N.V.”, hereinafter also referred to as “the Company”)

1. Commencement of Engagement


a. Subject to the terms and conditions of this contract for the provision of services (the “Contract“) the Company hereby engages you as independent contractor starting on the Commencement Date to fulfill the role of member of the Board of Management of the Company as Chief Financial Officer and, in conjunction with such role, of member of the Executive Committee of the Company. As a member of the Executive Committee you will perform your duties and responsibilities attached to that function within the corporate governance framework of the Company. In your capacity as member of the Board of Management of the Company you will have and observe all rights and obligations pursuant to the articles of association of the Company, the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Management and Executive Committee, and statutory provisions. By signing this Contract, you declare that you have received a copy of the Company’s articles of association and abovementioned Rules of Procedure and that you are familiar with their content.

b. The terms and conditions set forth in this Contract and its annexes replace the terms and conditions as laid down in any (previous) employment or services agreements and/or other written or verbal understandings you may have (had) with the Company and/or other companies belonging to the Philips Group. By entering into this Contract all prior contracts of employment and/or prior contracts for the provision of services (if any) with the Company and/or other companies belonging to the Philips Group are explicitly terminated.

c. This Contract is a contract for the provision of services, as defined in articles 7:400 and further of the Dutch Civil Code (“DCC”). You acknowledge and agree that, pursuant to article 2:132 section 3 DCC, your relationship with the Company and/or this Contract cannot be regarded an employment agreement as defined in article 7:610 DCC and further.

d. In this Contract the Company and you are together referred to as the “Parties” and each of you as a “Party”.


2. Duration of the Engagement


a. The Contract shall be entered into for a fixed period of time. The Contract shall start on the Commencement Date and shall terminate by operation of law, without any prior notice being required, on the last day of the quarter in which the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company in the fourth calendar year following the Commencement Date takes place (the “Contract End Date”), it being understood that for the period between such Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and the Contract End Date you shall act as an advisor to the Company.

b. No later than six months before the Contract End Date the Parties will discuss a possible extension of the Contract. The Contract will terminate in any event, without prior notice of termination being required, at the first day of the month following the month in which you have reached the state pension age based on the AOW (“Algemene Ouderdomswet”) or future legislation amending the state pension age based on the AOW.

c. Both Parties shall have the right to terminate this Contract before the Contract End Date or (if renewed) before any later Contract expiration date against the end of a calendar month by giving written notice of termination. In this respect, the Parties agree to adhere to a notice period of six (6) months. If notice of termination is given by a Party for urgent cause (‘dringende reden’), no notice period applies for the Party giving notice. For the definition of urgent cause (‘dringende reden’), reference is made to article 7:678 DCC and further.

d. If you are dismissed by the General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company, or if you resign, as member of the Board of Management of the Company (and, in direct relation thereto, as member of the Executive Committee of the Company) this Contract is terminated by operation of law without any prior notice of termination being required, which termination shall take effect (i) as per the date six (6) months after the end of the calendar month in which the General Meeting of Shareholders has adopted the resolution pursuant to which you are dismissed as member of the Board of Management of the Company, or, as the case may be, (ii) as per the date six (6) months after the end of the calendar month in which you have submitted your written resignation as member of the Board of Management of the Company. In deviation from the previous sentence, this Contract shall terminate with immediate effect as from the date per which (i) the General Meeting of Shareholders has dismissed you as member of the Board of Management of the Company, or, as the case may be, (ii) you have resigned as member of the Board of Management of the Company, in the event such dismissal or resignation (as the case may be) is given/made for urgent cause (‘dringende reden’). For the definition of urgent cause (‘dringende reden’), reference is made to article 7:678 DCC and further.

e. In deviation from clause 2 (c), the Company cannot terminate this Contract during the first two (2) years of your sickness or incapacity for work (although it can already give notice of termination), except when notice of termination is given by the Company (i) for urgent cause (‘dringende reden’) or (ii) prior to the first day of your sickness/incapacity for work. In deviation from clause 2 (d), in the event of your dismissal as member of the Board of Management of the Company by the General Meeting of Shareholders during your sickness or incapacity for work other than for urgent cause (‘dringende reden’) and after the first day of your sickness/incapacity for work, this Contract shall terminate at the later of (i) the date which is six (6) months after the end of the calendar month in which the General Meeting of Shareholders has adopted the resolution pursuant to which you are dismissed as member of the Board of Management of the Company, or (ii) the date of your recovery from sickness/incapacity for work, but no later than at the date on which the incapacity for work has lasted for two (2) years. For the definition of urgent cause (‘dringende reden’), reference is made to article 7:678 DCC and further. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this clause does not prevent the competent body from dismissing you as member of the Board of Management of the Company.

f. If the Contract is terminated at the initiative of the Company (whereby your dismissal by the General Meeting of Shareholders as member of the Board of Management of the Company shall also be deemed a termination “at the initiative of the Company” for the purposes of this clause) or by mutual agreement (at the initiative of the Company) before the Contract End Date, or before any other expiration date if the Contract has been renewed, other than for urgent cause (‘dringende reden’), you shall be entitled to a one off compensation in the amount of one time your Annual Base Compensation as defined in clause 3 hereof. For the definition of urgent cause (‘dringende reden’), reference is made to article 7:678 DCC and further. You shall not be entitled to such payment if the Contract is terminated immediately following a period of your long lasting sickness or disability which has lasted two years or longer (periods of incapacity for work that follow one another at intervals of less than four weeks shall be deemed one consecutive period of incapacity for work for the purposes of this clause).

g. If the Company does not elect to renew the Contract (e.g. because you are not re-appointed by the General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company as member of the Board of Management of the Company upon expiration of your term of appointment) you shall not be entitled to the compensation referred to above under f. but shall instead be entitled to a lump sum of one time your Annual Base Compensation divided by 12, times the number of months you still have to serve before reaching the state pension age based on the AOW (“Algemene Ouderdomswet”) or future legislation amending the state pension age based on the AOW, with a maximum of one time your Annual Base Compensation.

h. In case of termination of the Contract, you will resign, with effect from a date to be determined by the Company but ultimately per the effective date of such termination, as member of the Board of Management and, in direct relation thereto, as member of the Executive Committee of the Company.

i. The compensation as referred to in clauses f) and g) above, shall be deemed to include any amounts that may be payable to you in connection with the enforcement of the non-competition clause as set forth in the General Terms of Employment that are – mutatis mutandis – applicable to you.

3. Compensation


Your annual compensation as of the Commencement Date amounts to EUR 785,000 gross, which amount includes holiday allowances, to be paid in twelve equal monthly installments after deduction of the statutory tax and social security premiums to be withheld by the Company. Annual review and subsequent upwards adjustment, if any, of your annual compensation, will be determined at the discretion of the Supervisory Board of the Company and on the advice of the Remuneration Committee of the Supervisory Board. Only compensation increases determined and approved by the Supervisory Board will replace the compensation amount mentioned above. You will be informed in writing by means of a compensation statement. The annual compensation as may be amended on the basis of this clause from time to time shall be referred to as the Annual Base Compensation.

4. Annual Incentive


In addition to the Annual Base Compensation, you shall be eligible each year for an annual incentive, subject to certain targets being met. This incentive shall be determined annually by the Supervisory Board. You shall be notified in writing of these annual incentive targets. The on-target (= 100% score) annual incentive amount to be realized by you is currently set by the Supervisory Board at 80% of your Annual Base Compensation. The Supervisory Board shall determine in its sole reasonable discretion to what extent the annual incentive targets have been met.

5. Long Term Incentive Plan


The Supervisory Board, where relevant within the framework approved by the Company’s General Meeting of Shareholders, can decide by discretion to grant Performance Shares under the Global Philips Performance Share Plan and/or other equity related incentives to the members of the Board of Management on a year-to-year basis. As a member of the Board of Management you are in principle eligible to participate in such plan. The Long Term Incentive grant value equals 150% of your Annual Base Compensation. To improve Philips’ Corporate Governance and to further align the interests of senior Philips Executives with the interests of our shareholders, you are required to hold a certain level of Philips shares equal to 300% of your actual Annual Base Compensation. The Supervisory Board may decide to adapt the Philips Share Ownership Guidelines on an annual basis. The minimum number of Philips shares required to be held can be accumulated by:

For further details you are referred to the Philips Share Ownership Guidelines Executive Committee in the enclosed Information Package.

6. Claw back


The Supervisory Board may in its sole discretion but acting in good faith, resolve to recoup some or all of the incentive compensation -including any benefits derived therefrom- in all appropriate cases (taking into account all relevant factors, including whether the assertion of a recoupment claim may in its opinion prejudice the interests of the Company and its group companies in any related proceeding or investigation), granted to you as an Annual Incentive, as Performance Shares grants, as shares acquired by you under such grants, as other equity related incentive or otherwise (hereinafter referred to as ‘Incentive Compensation’), if:

a. The Incentive Compensation has been paid, granted, vested and/or delivered on the basis of incorrect financial or other data; or

b. In assessing the extent to which the relevant performance conditions and/or targets in relation to the payment, grant, vesting and/or delivery of the Incentive Compensation was satisfied, such assessment was based on an error, inaccurate or misleading information or assumptions and that such error, information or assumptions would have resulted or did in fact result either directly or indirectly in that payment, grant, vesting and/or delivery (or being capable thereof) to a greater degree than would have been the case had that error not been made; or

c. There are circumstances which would allow the Company to terminate this Contract for urgent cause (‘dringende reden’) (whereby for the definition of urgent cause (‘dringende reden’) reference is made to article 7:678 DCC and further), where such circumstances arose in, or related to, a period relevant to the date of payment, grant, vesting and/or delivery; or

d. You were involved in, or directly or indirectly responsible for a serious violation of the Philips General Business Principles or applicable law; or

e. The Company or the business in which you work/worked, or for which you were responsible, suffered a material failure of risk management, or

f. Something which occurred in the period relevant to the payment, grant, vesting and/or delivery has a sufficiently significant impact on the reputation of the Company or its group members to justify the operation of a recoupment claim.

By accepting a payment, grant, vesting and/or delivery of the Incentive Compensation, you agree to fully co-operate with the Company in order to give effect to this clause. Furthermore by accepting any payment, grant, vesting and/or delivery of the Incentive Compensation you provide an irrevocable power of attorney to the Company to transfer any shares held by you in the account administered by the Company’s global plan administrator and to perform any other acts necessary or desirable to give effect to this clause. This power of attorney is governed by Dutch law exclusively.

7. Pension Rights


As from the Commencement Date, you shall be included in the Pension Regulations of “Stichting Philips Pensioenfonds” applicable to executives, in respect of your pensionable salary up to the current statutory limit of EUR 105,075 which may change from time to time (“Statutory Pensionable Salary”) if and as soon as you meet the requirements set out in those pension regulations.
