AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS--(Marketwire - October 7, 2009) -
Receivers of Van der Moolen Holding N.V. announce that one of the foreign subsidiaries has received notification that it will receive an amount of EUR 32 million as a result of reclaimed dividend tax related to the year 2008. The receipt will be based on the tax return of this subsidiary of the year 2008. The involved tax authority has announced the intention to start an audit on the tax return that resulted in the reclaim. This audit will start in October.
The announced repayment and the result of the audit are of significant influence on the estates of several of the entities within the Van der Moolen group that are currently in the state of bankruptcy, as well as involved creditors and employees of these entities. In the current liquidation process of Van der Moolen Holding N.V., the repayment will not affect the position of the holders of common shares.
