During the meeting of holders of depositary receipts that was held today, depositary receipt holders have exercised the right to recommend a person for appointment. The board of directors appreciates depositary receipt holders making use of this right. In anticipation of the meeting of depositary receipt holders, the board of directors found Mr. Van Halderen willing to put himself up as a candidate, because experience shows that the recommendation right is not always exercised.
The board of directors has reviewed the CV’s of both candidates and assessed them in the light of the profile, which both candidates fit.
The board of directors resolved to appoint Mr. Van Halderen having regard to his ample knowledge of and experience in businesses related to the public sector and his proven abilities as CEO of an international company.
