Ahold Delhaize AGM Proposes Reappointment of KPMG Accountants N.V. as 2027 Auditor

Ahold Delhaize’s 2026 Annual General Meeting agenda and explanatory notes, filed publicly in February 2026, included a proposal to reappoint KPMG Accountants N.V. as the company’s external auditor for the 2027 financial year. The meeting booklet names KPMG Accountants N.V. explicitly as the auditor candidate for that reporting year.

The agenda item appeared in the meeting booklet dated February 2026 and was listed among the resolutions to be considered at the AGM held on February 24, 2026. The explanatory notes accompanying the agenda set out the reappointment as a discrete proposal for shareholder consideration at the February 24 meeting.

If approved by shareholders at the AGM on February 24, 2026, the proposal would make KPMG Accountants N.V. responsible for Ahold Delhaize’s external audit of the 2027 financial year. The filing frames the reappointment as the company’s formal request to lock in its auditor for the next statutory reporting period.

The public filing of the meeting booklet in February 2026 places the auditor reappointment squarely on the calendar for governance watchers and for KPMG Accountants N.V., which is named in the document. The agenda and explanatory notes supply the formal basis for the shareholder vote held at the February 24, 2026 AGM.

KPMG Accountants N.V.’s role on Ahold Delhaize’s 2027 financial statements now hinges on the outcome recorded from the shareholder deliberations at the February 24, 2026 AGM as reflected in the publicly filed February 2026 meeting booklet.
