P.A.F.W. Elverding Nominated for Appointment to Campina Supervisory Board

10/01/08 The Supervisory Board has decided to nominate P.A.F.W. (Peter) Elverding for appointment to the Supervisory Board of Campina BV. Mr Elverding is the intended successor of Herman van Karnebeek, who will be resigning from the Supervisory Board by rotation. The Members’ Council of Campina will pass a resolution on this matter at its meeting on 7 May 2008.

Mr Elverding has also been proposed by special nomination of the Central Works Council of Campina. Given his expertise in the field of human resources, the Central Works Council believes him to be exceptionally well qualified for the position of Supervisory Director with responsibility for social affairs, a position filled in recent years by Mr Van Karnebeek.

Mr Elverding (58) has wide-ranging national and international management experience. After various management positions at Akzo Nobel NV and De Bijenkorf BV he moved in 1985 to Koninklijke DSM NV. He was a member of DSM’s Managing Board for twelve years, eight of which were as CEO. Mr Elverding currently has various supervisory directorships, including being chairman of the Supervisory Board of Océ NV and a supervisory director of SHV Holdings NV and ING Groep NV. He is also chairman of the Supervisory Council of Maastricht University.
