Independent tax investigations initiated
As previously disclosed, we are preparing an addendum to our report, submitted in August 2004, to the UK Inland Revenue, that will cover other UK tax matters not addressed in the original report and are separately investigating the tax position of certain non-UK subsidiaries. As also disclosed previously, the outcome of these investigations may have a material impact on TNT's results and financial position. The investigations have revealed the likelihood of illegal acts relating to certain past tax matters. On behalf of TNT's Supervisory Board, its Audit Committee has taken responsibility for overseeing these investigations and will retain an independent law firm to assist it in conducting a full, independent investigation.
