The AGM approved the proposal to pay a dividend of EUR 0.21 per ordinary share. The dividend on ordinary shares will be paid either wholly in cash or in new ordinary shares, at the option of the shareholder, and will be debited to the share premium reserve.

Corporate Express’ ordinary shares will be quoted ex-dividend as of Thursday 10 April 2008. There will be no trading in dividend rights. The selection period runs from 15 April to 22 April. The dividend on ordinary shares will be payable as of 24 April 2007.

Remuneration

Considering the recent public debate on the remuneration for executive board members and given the reactions the company received from shareholders with respect to the remuneration proposals (2a and 2b) on the agenda, the Supervisory Board has stated it will reconsider these proposals and come back to the shareholders’ meeting at a later stage. These proposals have therefore not been voted on in the meeting.
