Changes in Supervisory BoardAt
the AGM Beter Bed Holding proposes to appoint Barbara van Hussen

appointments are for a period of four years.
Barbara van Hussen is a lawyer and a partner at
JanssenBroekhuysen Advocaten and fulfils various (guest) teaching

and supervisory positions. She is nominated for her broad
background and valuable expertise in corporate and business law.

at Euroports. Before she held various international financial
management and board positions, among others at Shell and joint
ventures of Shell. She has also worked as a Chartered Accountant at

Following the AGM Huub Vermeulen will resign
from the Supervisory Board. Huub has been a dedicated member of the

Board, comments: “We are very pleased to welcome Barbara
van Hussen and Maaike Schipperheijn as new members of our
Supervisory Board, resulting in a well-balanced composition of the
Supervisory Board. At the same time, we sincerely regret but
understand Huub’s decision to step down as member of our
Supervisory Board. We are very grateful for his valuable
contribution over the past two years and wish him all the best for
the future.”
