Holders of ARCADIS NV stock

Quoted on the OTC market and traded via PinkSheets

 

Subject:

End of free conversion

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

As you may know, ARCADIS NV decided earlier this year to terminate its NASDAQ listing, as we determined that the cost of a U.S. listing and the associated reporting requirements outweighed the benefits thereof.

 

As a result of this step, our New York registry shares, eligible for trading in the United States, were delisted from NASDAQ on June 8, 2007 and became traded from that date on via the over-the-counter market through the PinkSheets. For more information please refer to www.pinksheets.com. The symbol under which we trade on this platform is ARCAY.

 

When we announced the delisting, we also provided shareholders with the opportunity, during a limited period of time, to convert their ARCADIS NV New York registry shares to Dutch registry shares at no cost to the shareholder. Dutch registry shares are eligible for trading on Euronext, the pan European securities exchange and the more liquid market for ARCADIS NV shares.

 

I want to let you know that this period of free conversion will come to an end on December 31, 2007. If you want to remain an active shareholder in ARCADIS NV, then we advise to make the conversion to Dutch registry shares. Beginning, January 1, 2008, it will cost approximately $0.05 per share to convert New York registry shares to Dutch registry shares. The exact amount charged per share will be determined by the Bank of New York, the transfer agent for the shares,

 

Should you have any questions about this letter, the delisting of the Company’s shares from NASDAQ or our plans to deregister the Company’s shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission in June 2008, then please do not hesitate to contact our Director of Investor

 

 

Relations, Joost Slooten. His contact information is on this letter.

 

Sincerely,

ARCADIS NV

 

Harrie L.J. Noy

Chief Executive Officer
