their securities. If such a market were to develop, the securities could trade at prices that may be higher or lower than the initial offering price depending on many factors, including, among other things, prevailing interest rates, Philips&#146;
operating results and the market for similar securities. The initial purchasers have advised us that they currently intend to make a market in the securities as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. However, the initial purchasers are not
obligated to do so, and any such market-making activities with respect to the securities may be discontinued at any time without notice. Therefore, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any trading market for the securities or that an
active public market for the securities will develop. See &#147;Underwriting.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Direct creditors of our subsidiaries will generally

cash flow received from its subsidiaries to meet its payment obligations under the securities. Since the creditors of any of our subsidiaries generally would have a right to receive payment that is superior to the parent company&#146;s right to
receive payment from the assets of that subsidiary, holders of the securities will be effectively subordinated to creditors of the parent company insofar as cash flows from those subsidiaries are relevant to the securities. The terms and conditions
of the securities do not limit the amount of liabilities that our group subsidiaries may incur. In addition, certain of our subsidiaries are or may become subject to statutory or contractual restrictions on their ability to pay dividends.

of amounts outstanding in the event of a change of control and limit our ability to fund the repurchase of the notes in certain circumstances. If we experience a Change of Control Triggering Event, there can be no assurance that we would have
sufficient financial resources available to satisfy our obligations to repurchase the notes. Our failure to repurchase the notes as required under the Indenture governing the notes would result in a default under the Indenture, which could have

rating agency if, in its judgment, circumstances in the future so warrant. In the event that a rating initially assigned to the notes is subsequently lowered for any reason, no person or entity is obliged to provide any additional support or credit
enhancement with respect to the notes and the market value of the notes is likely to be adversely affected. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Principal, Maturity and Interest

in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before you decide to buy securities. In particular, you should review the risks relating to our business included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F, incorporated by reference herein.
If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer, and the trading price and liquidity of the securities could decline, in which case you may lose all or part of your investment.
</I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Risks relating to an investment in the securities </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>We may be able to incur substantially more debt in the future. </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We may be able to incur substantial
additional indebtedness in the future, including in connection with future acquisitions, some of which may be secured by our assets. The terms of the securities will not limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur. Any such incurrence of
additional indebtedness could exacerbate the risks that holders of the securities now face. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>The securities lack a developed public
market. </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There can be no assurance regarding the future development of a market for the securities or the ability of holders of the
securities to sell their securities or the price at which such holders may be able to sell their securities. If such a market were to develop, the securities could trade at prices that may be higher or lower than the initial offering price depending
on many factors, including, among other things, prevailing interest rates, Philips&#146; operating results and the market for similar securities. The initial purchasers may make a market in the securities as permitted by applicable laws and
regulations. However, the initial purchasers are not obligated to do so, and any such market-making activities with respect to the securities may be discontinued at any time without notice. Therefore, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of
any trading market for the securities or that an active public market for the securities will develop. See &#147;Plan of Distribution.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2"><I>Direct creditors of our subsidiaries will generally have superior claims to cash flows from those subsidiaries. </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a
holding company, Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. depends upon cash flow received from its subsidiaries to meet its payment obligations under the securities. Since the creditors of any of our subsidiaries generally would have a right to receive
payment that is superior to the parent company&#146;s right to receive payment from the assets of that subsidiary, holders of the securities will be effectively subordinated to creditors of the parent company insofar as cash flows from those
subsidiaries are relevant to the securities. The terms and conditions of the securities do not limit the amount of liabilities that our group subsidiaries may incur. In addition, certain of our subsidiaries are or may become subject to statutory or
contractual restrictions on their ability to pay dividends. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Our credit ratings may not reflect all risks of an investment in the
securities. </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The credit ratings ascribed to us and the securities are intended to reflect our ability to meet our payment obligations in
respect of the securities, and may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to structure and other factors on the value of the debt securities. In addition, actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings may generally be expected
to affect the market value of the securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>You may be unable to recover in civil proceedings for U.S. securities laws violations.
</I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. is organized under the laws of The Netherlands. Many of our assets are located outside the United
States. In addition, most of the members of our Supervisory Board, Board of Management and officers are residents of countries other than the United States. As a result, it may be impossible for investors to effect service of process within the
United States upon us or these persons, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in U.S. courts predicated upon civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws. In addition, we cannot assure you that civil liabilities predicated
upon the federal securities laws of the United States will be enforceable in The Netherlands. See &#147;Enforcement of Civil Liabilities.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

the Euroclear System and Clearstream, Luxembourg, that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant. For a description of the arrangements we have made with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas relating to the deposit of the

between a DTC Seller and a Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg Purchaser </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A purchaser of securities that are held in the account of a
DTC participant must send instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg at least one business day prior to settlement. The instructions will provide for the transfer of the securities from the selling DTC participant&#146;s account to the
account of the purchasing Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg participant. Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, will then instruct the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg to receive the securities either
against payment or free of payment. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The interests in the securities will be credited to the respective clearing system. The clearing
system will then credit the account of the participant, following its usual procedures. Credit for the securities will appear on the next day, European time. Cash debit will be back-valued to, and the interest on the securities will accrue from, the
value date, which would be the preceding day, when settlement occurs in New York. If the trade fails and settlement is not completed on the intended date, the Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg cash debit will be valued as of the actual settlement
date instead. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Euroclear participants or Clearstream, Luxembourg participants will need the funds necessary to process same-day funds
settlement. The most direct means of doing this is to preposition funds for settlement, either from cash or from existing lines of credit, as for any settlement occurring within Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg. Under this approach, participants
may take on credit exposure to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg until the securities are credited to their accounts one business day later. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">As an alternative, if Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg has extended a line of credit to them, participants can choose not to preposition funds and will allow that credit line to be drawn upon to finance settlement. Under this procedure,
Euroclear participants or Clearstream, Luxembourg participants purchasing securities would incur overdraft charges for one business day, (assuming they cleared the overdraft as soon as the securities were credited to their accounts). However,
interest on the securities would accrue from the value date. Therefore, in many cases, the investment income on securities that is earned during that one business day period may substantially reduce or offset the amount of the overdraft charges.
This result will, however, depend on each participant&#146;s particular cost of funds. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because the settlement will take place during New
York business hours, DTC participants will use their usual procedures to deliver securities to the depositary on behalf of Euroclear participants or Clearstream, Luxembourg participants. The sale proceeds will be available to the DTC seller on the
settlement date. For the DTC participants, then, a cross-market transaction will settle no differently than a trade between two DTC participants. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2"><B>Special Timing Considerations </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">You should be aware that investors will only be able to make and receive deliveries,
payments and other communications involving securities through Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear on days when those systems are open for business. Those systems may not be open for business on days when banks, brokers and other institutions are
open for business in the United States. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, because of time-zone differences, there may be problems with completing transactions
involving Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear on the same business day as in the United States. U.S. investors who wish to transfer their interests in the securities, or to receive or make a payment or delivery of securities, on a particular day,
may find that the transactions will not be performed until the next business day in Luxembourg or Brussels, depending on whether Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear is used. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

dollar. Investors who purchase securities at a price other than the offering price should consult their tax advisors as to the possible applicability to them of the amortizable bond premium or market discount rules. The summary is based on the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect and all subject to change at any time, perhaps with retroactive
effect. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of a security that is, for United States federal income tax purposes, (i)&nbsp;a citizen or

the United States as of December 31, 2007, have been incorporated by reference herein and in the registration statement in reliance upon the report of KPMG Accountants N.V., independent registered public accounting firm, incorporated by reference
herein and upon authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. The audit report covering the December 31, 2007 consolidated financial statements and effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007
refers to the adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 158, &#145;Employers&#146; Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans&#146; effective December 31, 2006. The audit report also includes an explanatory paragraph that
states that Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. and subsidiaries acquired Health Watch, Raytel Cardiac Services, VMI Sistemas Medicos, XIMIS, Emergin, Color Kinetics, TIR Systems, Partners in Lighting International, Lighting Technologies
International and Digital Lifestyle Outfitters (together &#147;the Acquired Companies&#148;) during 2007, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. and subsidiaries&#146; internal

company incorporated under Netherlands law. All of its directors and senior management, and some of the experts named in this document, currently reside outside the United States. All or a substantial portion of its assets and the assets of these
individuals are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for you to effect service of process within the United States upon non-U.S. resident directors or upon Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. or it may be
difficult to enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws against Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. We understand there is doubt as to the enforceability in The Netherlands of
original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts of civil liabilities predicated solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States. As there is no treaty between the United States and The Netherlands providing
for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments (other than arbitration awards in civic and commercial matters), a judgment rendered by a court in the United States will not be recognized and enforced by the Dutch courts. However, if a
person has obtained a final and conclusive judgment for the payment of money rendered by a U.S. court which is enforceable in the United States (the &#147;foreign judgment&#148;) and files his claim with the competent Dutch court, the Dutch court
will generally give binding effect to the foreign judgment insofar as it finds that the jurisdiction of the U.S. court has been based on grounds which are internationally acceptable and that proper legal procedures have been observed and unless the
foreign judgment contravenes Dutch public policy. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>
