Audit committee
The Supervisory Board as a whole serves as the audit committee. Mr Zegering Hadders chairs the audit committee. In 2009, the audit committee met four times. Our external auditor attended the meetings where the half year and full-year results were discussed. The auditor also met once with the Audit Committee without the presence of the Executive Board. See also the Audit Committee Regulations on the right hand side.
Appointment and remuneration committee
The appointment and remuneration committee, consisting of Mr Meysman and Mr Eisma, met four times during 2009. Main points at these meetings were the individual performance of Executive Board members and their remuneration in 2009. The achievement of targets in 2008 and related short-term bonus for Executive Board members’ payable in 2009 was reviewed. The remuneration policy was reviewed but no changes were deemed necessary.
