Item 8.01. Other Events
In connection with the filing of the definitive proxy on Schedule 14A on May 1, 2017, in which the shareholders of uniQure N.V. (the “Company”) have been asked to approve the Dutch statutory annual accounts for the year ended December 31, 2016 at the Company’s 2017 annual general meeting of shareholders, the Company has filed its Dutch statutory annual accounts on Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
As a public limited liability corporation (“namenslooze vennopschaap”) incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands, the Company is required by both Dutch law and its Articles of Association to prepare the Dutch statutory annual accounts and submit them to its shareholders for confirmation and adoption. The 2016 Dutch statutory annual accounts differ from the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, that were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), and filed with the SEC. The 2016 Dutch statutory annual accounts contain some disclosures that are not required under U.S. GAAP and not contained in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
