On February 28, 1624, an agreement was made between officials from Veere and Vlissingen regarding positions in the West Indies Company. From Vlissingen, Jan de Moor, Rogier Coubaert, Geleijn Adriaenssen Bours, and Geleijn Pietersen signed the contract. From Veere, Michiel van Brusese, Johan van Vosbergen, and Adriaen Velters signed on behalf of Willem Snellen. The agreement established that representatives from both cities would rotate positions, with a manager and a major shareholder taking turns every three years. When Vlissingen had filled the major shareholder position twice, Veere would take the third turn. The document was printed in 1638 by the widow and heirs of Hillebrandt Jacobsz van Wouw, who was the official printer for the High Mighty Lords States General.
