Appointments and Expansion of KEMA's Supervisory Board

Michiel Boersma is Chairman Successor; Peter Terium and Pieter Trienekens are new Members

ARNHEM, The Netherlands, June 9, 2010 - KEMA has appointed three new members to its Supervisory Board. Michiel
Boersma has joined as chairman successor, while Peter Terium and Pieter
Trienekens are new members. The appointments took effect during the General
Shareholders Meeting in May with the support of the employees' council. Kees
Wiechers stepped down upon the end of his term as chairman, as did Rinse de
Jong as member when his term ended. With these three new appointments, the
Supervisory Board has been expanded by one additional person. This is in
alignment with the growth and expansion of KEMA, such as in the field of gas.

Experience

The three new members have considerable management experience and
knowledge about the energy sector. Michiel Boersma (1947) was active for more
than twenty years at Shell, holding diverse managerial positions domestically
and abroad before he joined the Executive Board at Essent in January 2003. He
was chairman there from 1 July 2003 until 1 October 2009. In addition to
being on the Supervisory Board at KEMA, Boersma is, among other things, also
currently the chairman of the Supervisory Board at ProRail, a non-executive
member of the board at Neste Oil Corporation (Finland) and chairman of the
board at Prometheus Energy Corporation in Redmond, Washington, USA.

Peter Terium (1963) has been Chief Executive Officer of Essent since
October 2009, and prior to that has held diverse positions at RWE,
Schmalbach-Lubeca and KPMG. Pieter Trienekens (1950) began working at Gasunie
in 1986 and has been a member of the Executive Board since July 2005. He is
responsible for joint ventures and business development. Trienekens began his
career at the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs where he was responsible for
energy policy.

The Supervisory Board comprises seven positions now with these three
appointments. Thomas Cohn (former chairman of the Executive Board at Siemens
Netherlands), Jeroen de Haas (chairman of the Executive Board at Eneco
Holding), Peter Molengraaf (chairman of the Executive Board at Alliander) and
Ullrich Wältken (former senior vice president at Boston Consulting Group
Germany) are seated members.

Pier Nabuurs, chairman of the Executive Board at KEMA:

"We are very grateful for all of the work that Kees Wiechers and Rinse de
Jong have done for KEMA. Both have greatly contributed to the growth that our
company has experienced in recent years. At the same time, we are very
pleased with the three new appointments to the Supervisory Board. We are
convinced that they will play an important part in our subsequent
international development."
