Since 2010, Tessenderlo Group has been implementing its ambitious strategy to
transform the company into a specialty player in the area of food, agriculture,
water management and valorizing bio-residuals. Major steps were taken in 2011, a
year with an excellent performance as disclosed on February 16(th) . To
further accelerate the growth potential, there will be some changes in the
current management.
As of April 1(st) 2012, Jan Vandendriessche, currently Director Business Group
Organic Specialties will become Chief Growth Officer for the Group. In his new
role, he will focus on creating additional value through innovation and
uncovering growth opportunities in the different businesses. His current
responsibilities will be transferred to Pol Deturck, currently Director Business
Group Chemicals, who will add the Akiolis and Gelatins businesses to his present
portfolio of responsibilities.
Following the guiding principles of Corporate Governance, Tessenderlo Group has

Management, Internal Control and Internal Audit. Eddy Vandenbriele, who
currently holds this position, will continue to report to the CEO for Risk
Management and Internal Control. For Internal Audit, he will report directly to
the Audit Committee to guarantee full autonomy and independency.
