The authorized capital amounts to €45,380, consisting of 51% A shares of €22.69 each, which are held only by the State, and 49% B shares, also of €22.69 each, which are held by private investors. The voting rights for A shares and B shares are equal.

The equity of the company comprises three reserves, which result from the Agreement State-FMO of November 16, 1998. These are the share premium reserve, the development fund and the contractual reserve. As the company continues its activities, these reserves are not available to the shareholders. Upon liquidation of FMO, these reserves fall to the State, after settlement of the contractual return to the shareholders.

Share premium reserve

Share premium reserve is sole contributed by Shareholders of A shares on the transfer to the company of investments administrated on behalf of the State at the time of the financial restructuring and amounts to €29,272 (2016: €29,272).

Contractual reserve  

The addition relates to that part of the net profit, which FMO is obliged to reserve under the Agreement State-FMO of November 16, 1998 (see ‘additional information’).

Development fund

This special purpose reserve contains the annual budgetary allocations made by the State to finance the portfolio of loans and equity investments. In 2005, FMO received the final contribution to the development fund under the Agreement State-FMO of November 16, 1998.

Available for sale reserve (AFS reserve)

The available for sale reserve includes net revaluations of financial instruments classified as available for sale that have not been reported through the profit and loss account.

Other reserves

Legal reserves

Pursuant to Dutch reporting requirements in Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code the table below reflects the legal reserves included in the total Shareholders’s equity of €2,822,882. The legal reserves is not freely distributable to shareholders. The legal reserve includes the fair value increases contained in the AFS reserve, the Translation reserve and derivatives that are not in a hedging relationship.

The AFS reserve consist of the positive fair value movements of our equity instruments and interest bearing securities financial assets net of tax effect.

The translation reserve reflects the translation differences between closing and average weighted exchange rates of assets, liabilities, income and expenses from foreign subsidiaries and associates. As of year end 2017 the translation reserve has a negative balance of €16,696 driven by the declined USD exchange rate. Due to the negative balance the translation reserve is not taken into account for the legal reserve.

The derivatives not hedged reflect the fair value gains of our derivate portfolio (not used for hedge accounting purposes) designated at fair value through P&L for which the fair value determination is not based on frequent quoted information.

Proposal for appropriation of profit

A company net profit of €254,117 was recorded in 2017. Under the Agreement State-FMO of November 16, 1998, FMO is required to add €248,561 to the contractual reserve. Therefore the 2017 profit is not completely distributable. The distributable element of the net profit amounts to €5,556 (2016: €6,682). The Management Board and the Supervisory Board propose distributing a sum of €5,556 (2016: €6,682) as cash dividend equaling €13.89 per A and B share (2016: €16.71 per A and B share). This proposal for dividend distribution can be withdrawn if FMO's economical and financial conditions deteriorate significantly in the period up to the moment of distribution of the dividend. This reservation is the result of the recommendation of the European Central Bank on December 28, 2017, and adopted by the Dutch Central Bank.
