Our notes

DOWNGRADED from eu-controlled. The Annual Report 2025 ('Shareholder structure' at 31 Dec 2025; filed with the AFM on 4 Feb 2026) shows four founders at 11-13% each, 48.4% together, which is below a majority. The report does not describe them as acting together or as a controlling group, and it gives no residence. The earlier note that the report states 'no concert agreement' is wrong: we found no such wording, so it was removed. A Dutch protective foundation (Stichting Continuïteit TomTom) holds a call option on preferred shares; that is a takeover defence, not ownership. Same situation as Klarna: no controller, so the schema forces 'unverified'. The source URL is a copy of the official report hosted by VFB; replace it with the corporate.tomtom.com link before publishing.
