In the period 2000-2005, Rabobank issued member certificates
as part of its member loyalty programme. There were four
issues (in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2005) under which member
certificates were only made available to members of local
Rabobanks and were traded once a month on an internal
market. On 14 January 2014, the certificate holder meeting
approved the proposed change in order to facilitate a Euronext
Amsterdam listing. The Rabobank Certificates have been listed
on Euronext Amsterdam since 27 January 2014. Since the stock
exchange listing, Rabobank Certificates are also available to
non-Rabobank members. This has increased the marketability of
this instrument.
Rabobank Certificates represent private participation rights
issued by Rabobank via the foundation Stichting Administratie
Kantoor Rabobank Certificaten and belong to the Common
Equity Tier 1 equity of Rabobank.
The initial share price on 27 January 2014 amounted to 105.00%
(EUR 26.25). On 31 December 2015, the share price amounted
to 111.46% (EUR 27.87). Of the total 237,961,365 certificates,
an average of 4.3 million were traded every day on Euronext
Amsterdam during this period.
The distribution paid per certificate in 2015 was EUR 1,625
(2014: EUR 1,625). The Executive Board is entitled not to pay the
distribution. Unpaid distributions will not be paid at a later date.
The amounts listed in the table below are based on the nominal
value of EUR 25 per Rabobank Certificate. Cash flows arising
from changes during the year in the Rabobank Certificates are
included in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
