(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The Supervisory Board of Ziggo is pleased to announce that it intends to appoint
René Obermann as the new CEO of Ziggo effective 1st of January 2014. René
Obermann is currently CEO of Deutsche Telekom AG. This planned transition
coincides with the previously disclosed retirement of the current CEO, Bernard
Dijkhuizen in January 2014, and assures continued strong leadership of Ziggo in
future.
Andy Sukawaty, Chairman of the Supervisory Board:
"We are very excited to have Rene Obermann join Ziggo. His leadership skills
and broad global experience in fixed and mobile telecoms will help to drive
continued long term growth and service innovation at Ziggo. Bernard Dijkhuizen,
who as previously announced, will retire next year, will continue to lead Ziggo
through this year and will work with René Obermann to ensure a smooth
transition. Under Bernard's leadership, Ziggo has realised great success in
delivering world leading services to consumers in the Netherlands. René Obermann
is a perfect successor to lead the company through a new phase of growth,
innovation and market leadership."
René Obermann
After 15 happy years at Deutsche Telekom, I am very pleased to join Ziggo. This
opportunity fulfills my strong wish as an entrepreneur to move closer to

products and services in media and entertainment. Ziggo therefore makes an ideal
match and I look forward to starting as CEO of Ziggo as of January 1, 2014.
