Bert De Graeve, chairman of the Board of Directors: "I would first of all like to thank my colleague Angela for her valuable contribution to Telenet's Board of Directors and its Audit Committee over the past three and a half years. As current CFO and Managing Director - Operations for Liberty Global Content Investments, Angela has played an important role in shaping Telenet's premium entertainment and content strategy including recent investments. I'm furthermore pleased that we are able to co-opt Ms. Suzanne Schoettger as new director to the Board and as member to the Audit Committee given her broad experience in financial reporting, auditing and internal controls.
