Alphen aan den Rijn (March 18, 2010) - Wolters Kluwer, a market-leading global information services company focused on professionals, today launched its online 2009 Annual Report and Intelligent Solutions website. Both interactive websites offer dedicated tools, flash elements, and other features to access content in a customizable, user-friendly, and easy manner. The two online platforms each demonstrate the company's transformation as a global information services provider, aligned to its Maximizing Value for Customers strategy.

Website visitors will be able to learn more about Wolters Kluwer's 2009 performance from a strategic and operational perspective, as the 2009 Annual Report details Wolters Kluwer's solid performance in extending the leading positions by successfully transforming the portfolio, growing online and software products, extending into higher-growth adjacent markets, and leveraging global scale in 2009. Furthermore, in the company's transition towards a provider of intelligent solutions and services, the dedicated website, Intelligent Solutions, offers visitors a platform to experience and learn about Wolters Kluwer's latest information-enabled solutions - within the context of megatrends and customer insight - that are tailored to the specific context of professionals.

Nancy McKinstry, CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board, commented in the Message from the CEO in the Wolters Kluwer 2009 Annual Report: "Customers continued to be the focus for Wolters Kluwer in 2009. Despite a challenging economic climate, the company performed well and improved its financial strength and operating results. Throughout the organization we deepened our relationships with customers and invested in building innovative solutions. As a result, we have weathered the economic recession to emerge a stronger and more resilient company.

"Our strategy for 2010-2012 for Maximizing Value for Customers will leverage our strengths as a company. Our ability to apply our proprietary content, software expertise, and customer insight to develop market-leading products is one of the key areas. At all levels, the company is committed to delivering greater value to our customers. Our organization is well positioned to reach the next level of performance through global collaboration and innovation."
