Consolidated subsidiaries
Unless otherwise indicated, these are, directly or indirectly, wholly or virtually wholly-owned subsidiaries. Subsidiaries not important to
providing an insight into the Ahold Group as required under Dutch law are omitted from this list. With respect to the separate financial
statements of the Dutch legal entities included in the consolidation, the Company availed itself of the exemption laid down in section 403,
subsection 1 of Book 2 of the Netherlands Civil Code. Pursuant to said section 403, Ahold has assumed joint and several liabilities for the
debts arising out of the legal acts of a number of subsidiaries in the Netherlands, which form part of the consolidation. The names of the
subsidiaries for which Ahold has issued 403 declarations are open for inspection at the trade register as managed by the Netherlands
Chamber of Commerce.
