Highlights regions in FY 2014/15 Western Europe Slow recovery in the economy - consumers looking for a quality on-trade experience leading to higher demand for cocktails and spirits such as vodka and gin. Global brands achieved double-digit growth in the Netherlands, in regional brands, market share in the Netherlands further strengthened in a still declining market. Strong performances in Scandinavia and Italy, challenging retail market conditions in the UK and Belgium. The weakening of the Japanese Yen impacted results. Asia-Pacific Organically, China and Japan achieved strong growth. Weak market performance and one-off stock reductions in South East Asia. North America The transition of the distribution of Bols Liqueurs to Lucas Bols USA was completed. Deliberate price-structure adjustment negatively impacted revenue. Second half however showed a significant improvement versus first half. Emerging Markets A vibrant cocktail culture is developing in the Emerging Markets which Lucas Bols can capitalise on. Weak Russian Rouble and political instability impacted results. Latin America and Africa achieved strong growth. 10

Outlook We foresee continued stabilisation of the regional brands and growth of the global brands. The improvement in the global economies is contributing to a more positive on-premise environment and a growing cocktail culture. In particular in Asia and the Emerging Markets we see the urbanisation trend resulting in a growing on-premise market. We will continue to focus on the expansion of our brands in the US with our organisation Lucas Bols USA. While some markets will remain challenging, we are overall positive about the future developments of our brands. First dividend following IPO is anticipated after publication of the half year results 2015/16, on 18 November 2015. 27
