Target
Article 2
2.1 The aim of the foundation is to promote a high-quality and easily accessible living and working location with an international image on the Zuidas, which contributes to the sustainable development of Amsterdam as well as promoting and drawing attention to the general appeal of this location and van Amsterdam and also everything that in the broadest sense is related to, belongs to and / or can be conducive to it.

Participants.
ORAM Article 3
3.1 Participants of the foundation are companies, institutions and other organizations located on the Zuidas and owners (including owners' associations) or project developers or users of real estate there, and who have been admitted as such by the board of the foundation. Owing to the often complex ownership structures of buildings, investors can also be a participant on the basis of indirect representation. In that case, not the investor but the representative (the asset manager or the property manager / manager) is a participant. For each participant it is registered whether the participation is related to one or more buildings, a participant does not necessarily have to enter with regard to all his buildings. After prior approval by the supervisory board and after consultation with the participants, the board establishes the participation rules, which include the requirements for the admission and continuation of the participation of the foundation. The entrance fee required for joining as a participant will also be determined in the regulations. The participants can be divided into categories for this purpose. The same requirements apply to changes to the participation regulations as to the adoption of the regulations. The participant is in any case considered to be: the association of employers' association Regio Amsterdam (ORAM) registered in the trade register under number 34169371, hereinafter referred to as: ORAM. This participation has been granted to ORAM because it is the initiator of the activities as expressed in the purpose of the foundation and ORAM wants to play a sustainable role to promote the continuity of the activities of the foundation as much as possible. The entrance fee for ORAM is nil.
3.2 With due observance of the relevant participation regulations, the board may also decide to admit companies or institutions from outside the Zuidas.
3.3 Participants have the rights and obligations that appear from these articles of association and the participation regulations of the foundation.
