liability for the performance of their respective duties in the preceding financial year. Under Netherlands&#146; law, this discharge is not absolute, and would not be effective as to any matter not disclosed in the annual accounts of the Registrant
and the report of the board of management, as presented to or adopted by the general meeting of shareholders. Members of the board of management and the supervisory board of the Registrant are also party to agreements with the Registrant providing
for indemnification by the Registrant in circumstances similar to those provided for in the Registrant&#146;s articles of association as described above. In addition, members of the board of management, the supervisory board and certain officers of
the Registrant are, to a limited extent, insured under an insurance policy against damages resulting from their conduct when acting in their capacities as such. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

Pursuant to Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act, the proposed maximum offering price of the Ordinary Shares being registered hereby is not known and has been

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of
Documents by Reference.
The following documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") by the Registrant pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") are incorporated herein by reference:
(a) the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012;
(b) exhibits 99.1, 99.3 and 99.4 of the Registrant's Report of a Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K furnished to the Commission on April 17, 2013;
(c) exhibits 99.1, 99.3 and 99.4 of the Registrant's Report of a Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K furnished to the Commission on
July 17, 2013; and
(d) the description of the Ordinary Shares, contained in the Registrant's Report of a Foreign
Private Issuer on Form 6-K furnished to the Commission on February 8, 2013.
All documents subsequently filed by the
Registrant with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and, to the extent designated therein, certain reports on Form 6-K we submit to the Commission after the date hereof, prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of
such documents. Any statement contained herein or in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement
contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document that is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such previous statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed to constitute a part
of this Registration Statement, except as so modified or superseded.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The legality of the securities offered hereby has been passed upon by the general counsel of the Registrant, who participates in share and
share option plans of the Registrant.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The articles of association of the Registrant require the Registrant to indemnify members of the supervisory board and board of management
against liabilities (including reimbursement of legal expenses) incurred due to acts or omissions in acting in such capacity, except (i) to the extent that a court in the Netherlands irrevocably establishes that such acts or omissions are the
result of willful misconduct or intentional recklessness (unless the denial of indemnification or reimbursement of expenses would be, in view of all circumstances, contrary to reasonableness and fairness) and (ii) to the extent that such losses
are reimbursed by insurance. In addition, the Registrant's articles of association provide that at each ordinary annual general meeting of shareholders, the shareholders may discharge the supervisory board and the board of management from
liability for the performance of their respective duties in the preceding financial year. Under Netherlands' law, this discharge is not absolute, and would not be effective as to any matter not disclosed in the annual accounts of the Registrant
and the report of the board of management, as presented to or adopted by the general meeting of shareholders. Members of the board of management and the supervisory board of the Registrant are also party to agreements with the Registrant providing
for indemnification by the Registrant in circumstances similar to those provided for in the Registrant's articles of association as described above. In addition, members of the board of management, the supervisory board and certain officers of
the Registrant are, to a limited extent, insured under an insurance policy against damages resulting from their conduct when acting in their capacities as such.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The list of exhibits is set forth under "Index of Exhibits" at the end of this Registration Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement
or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to
be included in a post-effective amendment of this Registration Statement by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
