2

For the indexes based on age, nationalities, gender, inflow and outflow, the companies that are not integrated into the HR systems (approx. 6% of the total workforce) are not taken into account.

3

In presenting and discussing DSM’s financial position, operating results and cash flows, DSM (like many other publicly listed companies) uses certain Alternative performance measures (APMs) not defined by IFRS and referred to as ‘Adjusted’. These APMs are used because they are an important measure of DSM’s business development and DSM’s management performance. A full reconciliation of IFRS performance measures to the APMs is given in Note 2 of the Consolidated financial statements.

Subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.
