NOTES TO THE READER

Disclaimer

This document is only a "website version" and is not the official annual financial reporting, including the audited financial statements thereto pursuant to article 361 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. The official annual financial reporting, including the audited financial statements and the auditor's report thereto, are included in the single report package which can be found via media.vanlanschot.nl/media/xbrl/vlk-2020-12-31.zip

In case of any discrepancies between the website version and the annual financial reporting package, the aforementioned financial reporting package prevails.

Note that the auditor's opinion included in the website version does not relate to the website version but only to the official annual financial reporting. No rights can be derived from using the website version, including the unofficial copy of the auditor's report. Our auditors did not determine (nor do they need to) that the website version is identical to the official version.

Unrounded figures

Amounts in the annual report may not add up due to being rounded up or down. The total amounts may therefore deviate from the sum of the parts. Percentage changes are based on the unrounded figures.

Changes to comparative figures

Some amounts differ from previously published reports; in these cases, explanations are given in the footnotes.

Disclosure of Non-financial Information Act

The Disclosure of Non-financial Information Act is a Dutch regulation that made reporting on a number of non-financial themes compulsory for companies that qualify as large public-interest entities (grote organisaties van openbaar belang) with more than 500 employees. These themes comprise environmental, social and labour issues, as well as anti-corruption, bribery and human rights. For each of these themes, companies are obliged to report on the relevant policies, results, risks (including management of these risks) and non-financial key performance indicators. The regulation also requires companies to describe their business models in their annual reports. We provide all of the information required in the relevant parts of this annual report. For transparency purposes only, the reference table in our sustainability supplement provides additional guidance on where to find this information.
