Maarten Edixhoven, chairman of the board of Zwitserleven, will leave the pension insurer in Q1 2014. Maarten Edixhoven has been chairman of the board of Zwitserleven since October 2010. He will therefore step down in the first quarter as member of SNS REAAL's Management Committee and as registered director of SRLEV N.V.

Maarten Edixhoven is looking to pursue his career in another setting and has chosen to leave Zwitserleven in this transitional phase. SNS REAAL's Chairman of the Executive Board, Gerard van Olphen, regrets this choice but of course respects it. "In these past years Maarten has made a significant contribution to the development of Zwitserleven. With his enthusiasm and pioneering vision of pensions and the pension system, he not only put his stamp on the organisation but on the entire industry. The most important milestone was the introduction of Zwitserleven's new strategy. Zwitserleven will continue to pursue the new strategic course.

In addition, as member of the Management Committee of SNS REAAL, Maarten played a major role in the various strategic programmes initiated within SNS REAAL in recent years. We will miss his knowledge and drive." responded Van Olphen.

Maarten Edixhoven will stay on as chairman of the board of Zwitserleven into Q1 2014, when his successor will be announced.
