1.We note your response to prior comment 1, which indicates that you are treating
infrastructure companies that are consolidated within your audited financial statements as
investments in shares for the purpose of these non-IFRS measures. Please revise your
filing to explicitly and clearly disclose this information. In addition, we are unclear if you
are changing the basis of your associate companies (equity-accounted companies) within
your non-IFRS measures, please tell us and revise your filing to explicitly and clearly state
if you are or are not changing the basis of your associate companies (equity-accounted
companies).

2.We note your response to prior comment 1 and your related revisions to your filing. It
appears that your non-IFRS measures of Infrastructure Cash Flow, Ex-Infrastructure Cash
Flow and Adjusted Cash Flows have the effect of changing the basis of accounting for
certain entities to account for them as if they were investments in shares. Please tell us
how you determined it was appropriate to present these measures that change the basis of
accounting for these entities.
3.It does not appear that you have presented a reconciliation of your non-IFRS measures of
Infrastructure Cash Flow and Ex-Infrastructure Cash Flow to the most directly comparable
IFRS financial measure or measures. Please revise your disclosure to include these
reconciliations. Refer to Item 10(e)(1)(i) of Regulation S-K.
Item 6. Directors, Senior Management, and Employees
6.C.1.4. Corporate Governance Practices, page 167
4.We note your statement that under Dutch law, a majority of votes cast may approve a
resolution in a meeting where no quorum is required under Dutch law or the company's
Articles of Association. Please clarify what resolutions or actions must be approved in a
meeting where a quorum is required under Dutch law or the company's Articles of
Association, and state the quorum requirement.
