Paris, 8 September 2008 - The Dutch Authority for Financial Markets (“AFM”, Autoriteit Financiële Markten) decided to impose a fine on Numico and Danone for not publishing financial information in a sufficiently timely manner during the day of July 9, 2007, in the context of the takeover bid launched by Danone.
The fines on Numico and Danone are of an amount of €96,000 and €24,000, respectively.
Danone and Numico strongly disagree with the AFM’s decisions and have therefore appealed these decisions.
