PHILIPS TO HOLD EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHARE-HOLDERS ON OCTOBER 25, 2006 TO CANCEL REPURCHASED SHARES
Amsterdam, The Netherlands – Today, Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI) announced it will hold an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (EGM) on Wednesday, October 25, at Philips’ headquarters in Amsterdam. At the EGM, Philips will request that shareholders approve cancellation of shares.
On July 17, 2006, Philips announced the start of a EUR 1.5 billion share repurchase program, which at that time the company expected would take 18 months to complete. Philips now intends to complete this share repurchase program by the end of 2006. The EUR 1.5 billion share repurchase program represents part of EUR 4 billion that Philips indicated it would return to shareholders through a combination of dividends and share repurchases by the end of 2007, as part of an announcement on August 3, 2006, that Philips would sell an 80.1% stake in its Semiconductors business for EUR 6.4 billion.
