Papendrecht, 10 January 2013

After a presentation by Royal Boskalis Westminster 
N.V. (Boskalis) of the offer for all the issued and 
outstanding shares of Dockwise Ltd., as initially 
announced on 26 November 2012, Boskalis shareholders 
voted in favor of the proposal to issue new shares. 
During the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of 
Boskalis held this morning, in which two-thirds of 
the issued share capital was represented, more than 
99% voted in favor of the share issue. The EGM 
authorized the Board of Management to decide, during 
the period of 12 months from 10 January 2013 and 
subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board, to 
issue ordinary shares up to a maximum of 10 per cent 
of the number of ordinary shares issued at present.

This issue of ordinary shares will be used to partly 
finance the offer for Dockwise Ltd.
