An Addendum to Articles of Incorporation is a crucial document used when a Dutch company needs to modify its constitutional documents to reflect changes in its structure, operations, or governance. This document type is specifically required under Dutch law when making any amendments to a company's Articles of Incorporation (Statuten), and must be executed as a notarial deed before a Dutch civil law notary. Common scenarios requiring such an addendum include changes to share capital structure, corporate governance arrangements, company objectives, or adaptation to new legal requirements. The document must be filed with the Dutch Commercial Register (Handelsregister) to be legally effective and requires careful consideration of both Dutch corporate law requirements and the company's specific needs.

3. Definitions: Definitions of key terms used in the addendum, including references to defined terms in the original Articles

4. Authority for Amendment: Reference to the specific shareholder resolution or other corporate authorization for the amendments

5. Amendments: Detailed specification of each amendment to the Articles, citing the specific articles being modified, deleted, or added

6. Effect of Amendments: Statement clarifying that all other provisions of the original Articles remain in full force and effect
