After five years as a Member of KPN N.V.’s Board of Management, Baptiest Coopmans will leave the company by mutual agreement with the Supervisory Board to take a new step in his career per April 1st, 2012.

Mr Coopmans joined KPN’s Board of Management in September 2006 to lead the Consumer segment in the Netherlands. In February 2010 his remit was widened to include all of KPN’s Dutch Telco activities. Following the adoption of KPN’s new corporate strategy in May 2011, he was made responsible for the strategic programmes Simplification, Quality and Reputation & Branding. “

Chairman of the Supervisory Board Jos Streppel: “We respect Mr Coopmans achievements. He has done much to broaden and deepen KPN’s role as a service company in the Netherlands, successfully building a profile in areas including branding, sustainability and CSR. He has also contributed to our simplification programmes within the company in particular as regards brand and product portfolio and organisational structure.”


Mr Coopmans will receive a consideration compliant with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code amounting to one year’s base salary (EUR 590,000). Any short-term incentive (STI) 2011 will be paid out as usual. The long-term incentive (LTI) granted in 2010 and 2011 may be exercised depending on achievement of performance targets in accordance with KPN’s remuneration policy (based on 66% and 33% respectively of the original grant). LTI’s granted in preceding years are unaffected.
