Den Haag, 14-11-12



Today, KPN announces the appointment of Jesper Eriksen as the new Head of Consumer Mobile in The Netherlands as of 26 November 2012. He will replace Marco Visser, who will leave KPN to pursue new opportunities. Jesper Eriksen will also continue to act as Head of Consumer Residential. The reporting format will remain as is, split in Consumer Residential and Consumer Mobile.

"We remain focused on strengthening our Consumer Mobile and Consumer Residential businesses. In a relatively short period Jesper has proven to be very capable in running the Consumer Residential business. In light of his recent achievements, I am convinced that Jesper is the right person for this job. Over the past ten years Marco has made a substantial contribution as head of KPN's mobile activities and the Consumer business. I would like to thank him for his commitment to KPN and wish him all the best in the rest of his career."
(Joost Farwerck, Managing Director KPN The Netherlands)

Jesper Eriksen (44) has headed Consumer Residential since April this year. In recent months the broadband customer base increased for the first time in several years, while continuous innovation of KPN's market leading IPTV proposition and simplification of the Consumer Residential organization by removing management layers have been realized.

Works Council consultation will take place as usual.
