"shareholders approved all proposals presented at its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM)"
independent external auditor financial
"KPMG Accountants N.V. was appointed as the Company’s independent external auditor for the financial years 2026 through 2028"
An independent external auditor is a neutral, third-party accounting professional or firm that examines a company’s financial records, statements, and internal controls to confirm they are accurate and comply with accounting rules. Like a referee verifying a game's score, their independent report gives investors confidence that reported results are reliable and helps reveal mistakes, misleading practices, or weaknesses that could affect the company’s financial health and investment risk.
material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting financial
"other than the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting disclosed in Item 15 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F"
A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a significant flaw in a company’s processes that increases the likelihood its financial statements could be wrong or misleading. Think of it as a broken checkpoint in an airport security line: if it fails, errors or fraud can pass through undetected. Investors care because these weaknesses raise the risk that reported earnings, assets, or liabilities are inaccurate, which can affect valuation, trust, and investment decisions.
reportable events regulatory
"and (ii) no reportable events as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F"
Reportable events are significant incidents or changes a company is legally required to disclose to regulators and the public, such as major safety problems, legal actions, financial irregularities, or management changes. They matter to investors because these events can alter a company’s risk profile or future performance, much like a dashboard warning light signals a problem that could affect a car’s safety or reliability. Timely disclosure helps investors make informed decisions and maintain market fairness.
EU Market Abuse Regulation regulatory
"This press release relates to the disclosure of information that qualifies, or may have qualified, as inside information within the meaning of Article 7(1) of the EU Market Abuse Regulation"
A set of EU-wide rules that prevent cheating in financial markets by banning insider trading, market manipulation, and misleading disclosure; it also requires timely public release of key company information so everyone can play on a level field. For investors, it reduces the risk that prices are driven by secret deals or false signals, making markets fairer and more reliable for deciding when to buy or sell — like referees enforcing fair play in a game.

INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT

Annual General Meeting of Shareholders

On May 28, 2026, Pharming Group N.V. (“Pharming” or the “Company”) issued a press release concerning the results of its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (“AGM”) held today. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report on Form 6-K.

Auditor Change from Deloitte to KPMG

Deloitte Accountants B.V. (“Deloitte”) was previously reappointed as external auditor to the Company on June 11, 2025, for a one-year term.

On recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Board of Directors proposed to the AGM that the AGM appoint KPMG Accountants N.V. (“KPMG”) as external auditor for the financial years 2026, 2027 and 2028. The AGM approved such proposal, and KPMG was therefore so appointed on May 28, 2026.

Deloitte was dismissed on May 28, 2026, as external auditor to the Company.

The reports of Deloitte on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the subsequent period through May 28, 2026, there were (i) no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F) between the Company and Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte, would have caused Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in Deloitte’s reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for such years, and (ii) no reportable events as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F, other than the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting disclosed in Item 15 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company provided Deloitte with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this report on Form 6-K and requested that Deloitte furnish it with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) stating whether or not Deloitte agrees with the above disclosures and, if not, stating the respects in which Deloitte does not agree. A copy of Deloitte’s letter to the SEC, dated May 28, 2026, is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.2 to this report on Form 6-K.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the subsequent period through May 28, 2026, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with KPMG regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that KPMG concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues, (iii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F and the related instructions), or (iv) any reportable event (as described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F).
