Wed, 25 Jun 2008 04:36:00 CDTTHE HAGUE, THE NETHERLANDS--(eMediaWorld - June 25, 2008) - A proposal to proceed to cancel the currently outstanding preference shares of Wereldhave N.V. will be put to the Annual General Meeting of Wereldhave N.V. to be held in 2009.The rationale for cancellation is that the listing of preference shares of an investment company with variable capital is no longer required and that the preference shares have a very limited liquidity.
