Item 8.01. Other Events
On February 12, 2019, the Board of Directors of Cimpress N.V. approved a proposal to migrate the tax residence of Cimpress N.V. from the Netherlands to Ireland, effective as of that date. Cimpress remains incorporated in the Netherlands, and its Dutch operating subsidiaries are maintaining their existing offices in the Netherlands. The rights of Cimpress' shareholders under Dutch corporate law are not affected by this migration.
Cimpress believes that the Irish regime represents a more flexible and favorable environment for multinational groups with a profile like Cimpress and that Irish tax residency aligns better with Cimpress' current international footprint and profile. As a result of the migration described above, Cimpress N.V. should be considered a tax resident of Ireland as of February 12, 2019, for both Irish and Dutch tax purposes as well as under the current Ireland-Netherlands tax treaty.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
