Den Haag, 17-4-09
Today, Ad Scheepbouwer, Chairman of the Board of Management and CEO of KPN, has increased his share ownership in KPN, showing his confidence in the company. His share ownership increased from 152,147 shares to 506,389 shares, related to the vesting of shares that were awarded conditionally in 2008. In contrast to market practice, Mr. Scheepbouwer has decided not to sell any shares to settle the relevant income tax obligation.
In line with market practice, the other members of the Board of Management have sold part of the vested shares of 2006 to settle the relevant income tax obligations, and will keep the remaining shares.
