NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN OR INTO OR TO ANY PERSON LOCATED OR RESIDENT IN ANY JURISDICTION WHERE IT IS UNLAWFUL TO RELEASE, PUBLISH OR DISTRIBUTE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT (SEE "OFFER AND DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTIONS" BELOW)

Further to its announcement on November 4, 2019, Koninklijke KPN N.V.

The Offer is being made upon, and is subject to, the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated November 4, 2019 (the "Offer to Purchase").

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, the Purchase Price for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Expiration Date or the Guaranteed Delivery Date pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures, and accepted for purchase (the "Purchase Price"), is specified in the following table:

The Purchase Price was determined at 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on November 12, 2019. The Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m. (New York Time) on November 12, 2019 (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the "Expiration Date"). Notes tendered may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to the Expiration Date, but not thereafter. The "Results Announcement Date" is expected to be November 13, 2019, unless the Offer is extended. The "Settlement Date" will be promptly following the Expiration Date and is expected to be November 15, 2019, which is the third business day after the Expiration Date.

In addition to the Purchase Price, Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will be paid accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but not including, the Settlement Date.

Holders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold Notes as to when such intermediary needs to receive instructions from a holder in order for that holder to be able to participate in, or (in the circumstances in which revocation is permitted) revoke their instruction to participate in the Offer before the deadlines specified herein and in the Offer to Purchase.
