's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands, 5 June 2008 - Tele Atlas (FSE:
TA6, EUNV: TA), a leading global provider of digital maps and dynamic
content for navigation and location-based solutions, today announced
that following the settlement of TomTom N.V.'s offer for all
outstanding shares in Tele Atlas for a price per share of ? 30 (the
"Offer"), expected to occur on 10 June 2008 (the "Settlement Date"),
the supervisory board of Tele Atlas will make a binding nomination to
appoint Bill Henry as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and
member of its Management Board, following and subject to the
completion of the consultation procedures with Tele Atlas' works
council. Alain De Taeye, who formed the company in 1984, will resign
as CEO and member of the Management Board after the proposed
appointment of Henry. De Taeye will be proposed to be appointed as a
member of the management board of TomTom N.V. but will remain
strategically involved with Tele Atlas, giving the company continued
access to his vast experience and industry knowledge.

Henry has more than 20 years of management experience running global
technology companies. Formerly he led the turnaround of healthcare
software leader iSOFT. In his role as Chief Operating Officer, Henry
was an Executive Director on the iSOFT board and oversaw the
company's successful merger with IBA Health in 2007. Before that
Henry was CEO of Star Technology Services, a division of Message Labs
Group and a leading provider of messaging security services. He has
also held executive roles at PeopleSoft, and Bellcore/Telcordia
Technologies, Sprint and Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC).

Alain De Taeye said the proposed appointment of Henry was important
for the company's next stage of development. "Tele Atlas is starting
an exciting, new chapter in its history. Bill has the experience and
perspective we need to lead the next era in digital mapping, one in
which community-based input and real time data help create the best
experience for digital map users."

"I am thrilled to be a part of this exciting company, especially at
such a transformative moment in the digital map industry. Tele Atlas
will establish the new standard for real time, accurate maps and
routing intelligence, and I look forward to working with our partners
around the world to deliver the next generation solutions," said
Henry.

Following the Settlement Date, George Fink, President and Chief
Operating Officer, will be retiring as President and COO and will
step down as a member of the Management Board. "In his tenure at Tele
Atlas, George helped the company significantly expand its global
operations and strongly position its products for the fast-growing
personal navigation market. I thank him for his dedication to and
passion for the company," said De Taeye.

Following and subject to the completion of the consultation
procedures with Tele Atlas' works council, Tele Atlas will, as soon
as reasonably possible, convene an extraordinary general meeting of
shareholders for the proposed appointment of Henry.
