Press release

At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of RSDB NV, held today:

- the 2005 annual accounts were discussed and approved;
- the dividend for the 2005 financial year was set, in accordance with the proposal, at EUR 1.76 in cash per ordinary share. The dividend will be made payable as from June 30, 2006;
- the members of the Executive Board were discharged for their management in 2005;
- the members of the Supervisory Board were discharged for their supervision in 2005;
- Mr. D. Montgomery, as recommended by the Supervisory Board, was appointed as member of the Supervisory Board;
- the board was authorised, in accordance with the proposals, to issue shares as well as to acquire company shares.

In the explanation of developments at RSDB it was stated that the reason for the termination of discussions in connection with the delisting of the company is mostly to be found in deteriorating market conditions. The desire to delist remains unabated.
Furthermore it was announced that the business line Marketing Communications will receive more funding to grow in the fast changing advertising market and that the business line Print Productions will further reorganise to bring costs in line with market developments. This additional reorganisation, which could cost another 100 jobs in addition to the loss of 100 jobs already announced in March, will result in a sinlified and streamlined organisation, without reducing the production capacity. Forced redundancies can not be ruled out.

With regard to result development, it was stated that at the present insights, regardless of the making of provisions for reorganisations, there is no reason to make any changes to the last announcement made on May 17.
