KPN proposes to appoint Mr Sickinghe and Mrs Zuiderwijk as members of the Supervisory Board
Royal KPN N.V. (“KPN”) has published the agenda of its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (“AGM”), to be held in The Hague on Wednesday 9 April 2014.
The agenda includes proposed changes to KPN’s Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board consists of eight members, of which Ms van Lier Lels and Mr Routs will step down. Last year they were reappointed for a period of one year.
The Supervisory Board proposes to appoint, taking due account of the profile of the Supervisory Board, Mr D.W. Sickinghe and Mrs C. Zuiderwijk as members of the Supervisory Board. Mr Sickinghe has extensive knowledge in the fields of telecommunications, technology, media and innovation, thanks to his tenure as CEO of Telenet (Belgium) and his experience at NeXT Computer and HP. Mrs Zuiderwijk currently holds the position of Chairman of the Board of Management of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce, and has extensive knowledge of and experience in business and management in the field of ICT. The nomination for this position was subject to the enhanced right of recommendation of the Central Works Council, which recommended Mrs Zuiderwijk’s nomination.
The agenda, including the additional resolutions put forward to the AGM, is made available on the website of KPN (www.kpn.com/ir). Furthermore, KPN will publish today its Integrated Annual Report 2013, which will also be made available on KPN’s website. Following the integration of CSR into its operations, KPN has for the first time combined the Annual Report and CSR report into one integrated report, communicating on how it utilizes resources and relationships to create value for all stakeholders.
