For additional information about Ahold Delhaize’s share capital, see Notes 20 and 22 to the consolidated financial statements. Ahold Delhaize is
a public limited liability company registered in the Netherlands with a listing of shares (symbol: AD) on Euronext’s Amsterdam Stock Exchange (AEX)
and Euronext Brussels.
During 2016, Ahold Delhaize’s issued share capital outstanding increased by approximately 454 million common shares to 1,272 million common
shares, mainly related to the merger between Ahold and Delhaize Group. Following the merger, Delhaize shareholders received 4.75 Ahold
ordinary shares for each issued and outstanding Delhaize common share, which increased the number of common shares outstanding by
496 million shares. This was partly offset by the reverse stock split of 48.5 million shares on July 18, 2016, and the use of 6.3 million treasury shares
for share-based compensation.
