Consistent with its fiduciary duty, Arcadis’ Executive Board and Supervisory Board continuously evaluate ways to drive value for shareholders and all stakeholders.
Arcadis wants to ensure shareholders and stakeholders have an accurate account of events. Prior to receiving WSP’s unsolicited offers, members of the Arcadis Executive Board and Supervisory Board interacted with WSP formally, at their request. Subsequently, WSP made two unsolicited proposals. After careful review of the proposals with financial and legal advisers, the Boards unanimously rejected WSP’s proposals as fundamentally undervaluing Arcadis and not in the best interests of the company’s shareholders, employees, clients and other stakeholders.
The Boards have strong conviction in the standalone strategy and financial targets as presented during the Q2 2026 results, with the improving operational momentum underpinning the Boards confidence. The Boards will also continue to evaluate any opportunities for the company against whether they are in the best interest of shareholders and stakeholders.
