Schiphol - 2 April 2019. GrandVision N.V. (EURONEXT: GVNV) today announced that Paulo de Castro has resigned from his position as Chief Financial Officer and member of its Management Board effective 15 May 2019 to pursue another career opportunity.

"On behalf of GrandVision, I want to sincerely thank Paulo for his seven years of service and wish him well for his next professional challenge. He has strongly contributed to the successful expansion of GrandVision’s international growth and helped me tremendously to onboard and to sharpen our strategy during my first 12 months in the company", said Stephan Borchert, GrandVision’s CEO.

Following this resignation, the Supervisory Board of GrandVision NV is glad to propose to its shareholders the appointment of Willem Eelman as its future Chief Financial Officer and member of its Management Board. For this appointment, an extraordinary shareholder meeting will be called for Wednesday, 15 May 2019.

Willem Eelman is the former CFO and Chief Operations Transformation Officer of C&A Europe, a leading clothing retailer in Europe.

In addition, Willem Eelman has been a member of GrandVision’s Supervisory Board since 2011 and has been acting as Chairman of the Audit Committee since 2011.

Mr. Eelman has stepped down from GrandVision’s Supervisory Board with immediate effect. The Supervisory Board has initiated a process to appoint a new independent non-executive director and Chairman of the Audit Committee.
