Our notes

Re-read 18 Oct 2026. Ahold Delhaize Annual Report 2025, note 'List of subsidiaries' (PDF p.279): 'bol.com B.V.* Utrecht 100%' and 'bol.com holding N.V.* Utrecht 100%'. PDF p.62: AFM-register holders of 3% or more on 24 Feb 2026 were only BlackRock (5.63% capital, 6.91% votes) and Amundi Asset Management (3.02%). Shareholders by region include North America 32.4% and NL 4.1%. GLEIF agrees on the ultimate parent. We found no later sale of bol.com, but this report predates Oct 2026 by eight months. Dutch-domiciled and Dutch-parented; the parent's free float is mostly foreign-held.
