BinckBank nominates Mr.  Vincent Germyns (1973) for appointment by the supervisory board as statutory director of the executive board responsible for all Retail activities followed immediately after the annual general meeting of shareholders on 22 April 2014. His appointment as member of the executive board is effective from the date of the meeting until the end of the annual general meeting of shareholder to be held in 2018. Mr. Germyns will be responsible for all Retail activities and primarily focus on online brokerage and asset management services.

Last year aforementioned activities used to be under the direct responsibility of chairman Mr. Koen Beentjes, next to his existing tasks as CEO.
