The relevant competent supervisory authorities, the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets ('Autoriteit Financiële Markten'), the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier and the Swedish Finansinspektionen are also informed.

This means that Netherlands rules will apply with regard to the ongoing reporting requirements, that regulated information ('gereglementeerde informatie') will be disclosed as prescribed by the Wft and that the AFM is the regulator in this respect.
