At the Annual General Meeting planned for 17 April 2025, Nedap's Supervisory Board is set to propose several key appointments and reappointments.
These include the appointment of Karin Bergstein to the Supervisory Board, the reappointment of Peter van Bommel, and the selection of KPMG as the external auditor and assurance provider for the company's sustainability report.
Proposed appointment of KPMG
In line with statutory requirements for auditor rotation, the Supervisory Board plans to suggest KPMG Accountants N.V. take on the role of auditor and assurance provider specifically for the sustainability report over the next three years, commencing with the 2026 financial year.
KPMG's nomination follows a rigorous selection process where it was chosen for its notable expertise and experience with publicly traded companies. The board expects a seamless transition with KPMG delivering high-standard audit services. Until then, the 2025 financial audits and sustainability assurance will remain with PricewaterhouseCoopers Accountants N.V.

Reappointment of Peter van Bommel
Furthermore, at the same annual meeting, Peter van Bommel will be proposed for another term as a Supervisory Board member, extending his tenure by four years.

The board expresses its satisfaction with Peter van Bommel's willingness to continue contributing to Nedap's strategic oversight.
At the Annual General Meeting scheduled for April 17, 2025, the Supervisory Board of Nedap intends to submit proposals for the appointment of Karin Bergstein as a Supervisory Board member, the reappointment of Peter van Bommel as a Supervisory Board member, and the appointment of KPMG as external auditor and assurance provider for the sustainability report.

High-quality audit services
This nomination follows a careful selection process in which KPMG emerged as the preferred candidate based on its expertise, experience with publicly traded companies, strong preparation, and understanding of Nedap. The supervisory board has confidence in KPMG’s ability to deliver high-quality audit services and ensure a smooth transition. The audit of the 2025 financial statements and the assurance services for the sustainability report will continue to be performed by PricewaterhouseCoopers Accountants N.V.
To ensure continuity within the supervisory board, Ms K.T.V. Bergstein is nominated for appointment as a supervisory board member. This nomination is made in anticipation of the planned resignation of Ms M.A. Scheltema at the annual general meeting in 2026.
