Changes to be effected at the next Annual General
Meeting of Shareholders on 25 April 2019
Amsterdam, 18 December 2018 - Heineken N.V. today announced that
Hans Wijers, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, informed the
Supervisory Board that he wishes to resign from his positions of
Chairman and member of the Supervisory Board of Heineken N.V. Mr.
Wijers' resignation will take effect as of 25 April 2019 upon
conclusion of the 2019 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
("2019 AGM").
The Supervisory Board and the Executive Board wish to express
their gratitude and appreciation to Mr. Wijers for his valuable
contribution to the company. Mr. Wijers has been a member of the
Supervisory Board for seven years, six of which as its Chairman. He
has been actively involved in the continued growth and success of
the company over these years. Mr. Wijers' dedication, significant
business experience and wise counsel have been of great importance
to the company.
Mr. Wijers commented: "It has been a great honour to serve on
HEINEKEN's Supervisory Board since 2012. HEINEKEN has a clear
strategy in place delivering excellent results year-on-year,
focusing on the long-term success of the company. I am pleased to
hand over the Chairmanship of the Supervisory Board to an
experienced successor to guide HEINEKEN into the next phase of its
exciting future."
The Supervisory Board has resolved to appoint Mr. Jean-Marc
Huët, member of the Supervisory Board since 2014 and Chairman of
the Audit Committee, as Chairman of the Supervisory Board,
effective upon conclusion of the 2019 AGM. Mrs. Marion Helmes,
currently member of the Supervisory Board and member of the Audit
Committee, will become the Chair of the Audit Committee per 1
January 2019.
Ms. Yonca Dervisoglu (previously: Brunini) has informed the
Supervisory Board that she will resign from the Supervisory Board
at the 2019 AGM, as her increased executive responsibilities at
Google will make it difficult to dedicate sufficient time to her
Supervisory Board responsibilities going forward. The Supervisory
Board is grateful for Ms. Dervisoglu's commitment and contribution
to the Supervisory Board and its Remuneration Committee over the
past three years.
Furthermore, Heineken N.V. today announced that it will propose
to the 2019 AGM that Mrs. Rosemary L. Ripley be appointed as member
of the Supervisory Board of Heineken N.V. per the conclusion of the
2019 AGM.
Mrs. Ripley (64) is a Managing Director of NGEN, an early-stage
growth equity investment firm investing in innovative companies in
healthy living. Mrs. Ripley leads the firm's focus on consumer
products companies, is a director of Zevia, Nlyte and Hyla and
actively works to support Enzymedica, Revolution Foods and
DIRTT.
Previously, Mrs. Ripley spent roughly 25 years in consumer
packaged goods, branding and technology, as well as in strategic
planning, acquisitions and public and private market transactions.
Mrs. Ripley chairs the Board of the Livingston Ripley Waterfowl
Conservancy, sits on the Advisory Board of the Yale Center for
Business and the Environment, and is a member of the Economic Club
of New York. She received both her BA, cum laude, and MBA at Yale
University.
Furthermore, Heineken N.V. will propose to the 2019 AGM that Mr.
Michel de Carvalho be re-appointed as member of the Supervisory
Board of Heineken N.V.
Subject to approval of the AGM on 25 April 2019 of the

will be as follows as per the conclusion of the 2019 AGM:

- José Antonio Fernández Carbajal (Vice-Chairman)
- Maarten Das (Delegated Member)
- Michel de Carvalho
- Christophe Navarre
- Javier Astaburuaga Sanjinés
