All proposed resolutions adopted at TomTom's EGM

Amsterdam, 30 June 2009 - In its press release of 14 June 2009, TomTom N.V. ("TomTom") announced its intention to raise €430 million in a fully committed/underwritten equity offering (the "Equity Offering"), consisting of a €359 million rights offering (the "Rights Offering") and a €71 million private placement (the "Private Placement"). In its press release of earlier today, TomTom announced the principal terms of its 5 for 8 Rights Offering and its intention to launch the Rights Offering subject, inter alia, to adoption of the necessary resolutions at the Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") of today and approval of the prospectus.

Further to these press releases, TomTom announces that during the EGM, all of the proposals to the general meeting of shareholders were adopted. Consequently:

    1. TomTom's Management Board is authorised, subject to approval of TomTom's Supervisory Board, to decide upon an issue of 11,603,031 ordinary shares, provided that this authorisation can only be used to issue ordinary shares as required to raise (approximately) €71 million equity under the Private Placement.
    1. TomTom's articles of association will be amended to increase the authorised share capital to €180,000,000, divided into 600,000,000 ordinary shares each with a nominal value of €0.20 and 300,000,000 preferred shares each with a nominal value of €0.20.
    1. TomTom's Management Board is authorised, subject to approval of TomTom's Supervisory Board, to decide upon the issue of ordinary shares and/or to grant rights to subscribe for ordinary shares up to the maximum of the authorised share capital relating to ordinary shares as it will read after the amendment of our articles of association as set out in par. 2, above, provided that this authorisation can only be used to issue such a number of ordinary shares and SETs as required to raise (approximately) €359 million equity under the Rights Offering. TomTom's Management Board is furthermore authorized, subject to the approval of TomTom's Supervisory Board, to limit or exclude pre-emptive rights of existing shareholders in connection with such issuance or grant.
    1. TomTom's Management Board is authorised, subject to the approval of TomTom's Supervisory Board, to acquire the ordinary shares which will be issued by TomTom's Management Board under the authorisation as set out in par. 1, above, in connection with the Private Placement for a price per ordinary share with a minimum equal to the nominal value of such ordinary shares and a maximum equal to the issue price. The authorisation has been granted for a period of three months, therefore ending on 30 September 2009.
    1. Mr J.E. Tjaden has been appointed as a member of TomTom's Supervisory Board under the condition precedent (opschortende voorwaarde) of the closing of the Rights Offering and for a period of four years, subject to the rotation schedule to be set by TomTom's Supervisory Board.
    1. TomTom's general meeting of shareholders confirmed that it will not use its authority within the meaning of article 2:146 Dutch Civil Code to appoint a person other than the members of TomTom's Management Board in relation to any and all transactions entered into or to be entered into concerning the Equity Offering thereby confirming the authority of any two members of TomTom's Management Board to represent or have represented TomTom in any and all matters in relation to the Equity Offering.
