Den Haag, 3-7-12
The Supervisory Board of Royal KPN N.V. announces its
intention to appoint Mr Eric Hageman to KPN's Board of
Management as the company's Chief Financial Officer. The
Supervisory Board will inform shareholders on the
appointment at an Extraordinary General Meeting of
Shareholders ("EGM") which is expected to be held in
September 2012.
Mr Hageman has been acting as full time interim CFO since
January 2012 and will continue this role until he takes on
his position as CFO at the EGM. Mr Eric Hageman (42) joined
KPN in 2005 and most recently held the position of CEO KPN
Group Belgium. Previously, Mr Hageman worked for nearly a
decade as a corporate financier in London, where he advised
companies in the Telecoms, Media and Technology
sectors.
Mr Steven van Schilfgaarde, CEO Corporate Market NL, has
been acting next to Mr Hageman as part-time interim CFO
since January 2012. Mr van Schilfgaarde will continue this
role until the EGM.
Chairman of the Supervisory Board Jos Streppel said: "We
are very pleased to present Eric Hageman as our new CFO. We
have conducted a comprehensive review of both internal and
external candidates and found the best person for the job.
Eric brings substantial financial markets experience to the
Board and continuity in our financial policy which is aimed
at creating value for our shareholders and other
stakeholders. Continuity is also important in achieving the
goals set in our "Strengthen, Simplify and Grow" strategy,
particularly in light of the current accelerated investment
strategy in The Netherlands."
The terms and conditions of Mr Hageman's employment
contract fit within KPN's remuneration policy, as approved
by the General Meeting of Shareholders. Mr Hageman will
earn a base salary of EUR 575,000 per year. Mr Hageman is
also eligible for a short term variable cash incentive and
a long term variable incentive (based on conditional
shares), which are both related to the performance of
KPN.
