On 25 June 2025, BOVAG informed PBH to have terminated Project Vaals, as none of the bids met the expectations and criteria of BOVAG.

Future
Due to the fact that a significant part of the Company’s net income is determined by the result of Bovemij N.V., PBH does not express expectations with respect to net income or otherwise.
