TELENET : Christiane Franck nominated as new, independent director of Telenet Group Holding NV

Mechelen, 27 March 2015 - On Saturday, Telenet Group Holding NV is publishing the agenda for the annual general meeting of shareholders, taking place on 29 April 2015. In the agenda, the board of directors is proposing to appoint Mrs Christiane Franck, CEO of Vivaqua, as the new independent director of the company. The term of office of Mr Michel Delloye (as permanent representative of Cytindus NV) acting as independent director shall end at the forthcoming general meeting of shareholders.

Mrs Franck has gained many years of expertise with Vivaqua, where service and the quality of service are of paramount importance. She is, of course, familiar with the Belgian context in which Telenet operates, and otherwise has extensive strategic know-how. The board of directors is looking forward to working with her. Finally, the current directors and the management of Telenet would like to expressly thank Michel Delloye for his extremely valuable commitment to allow Telenet to expand into one of the best-performing and most innovative cable companies in the world."
