	Rolf-Dieter Schwalb has been the DSM CFO for 8 years, during which the company completed its transformation into a Life Sciences and Materials Sciences company. He will step down as CFO as of 1 December, but he will remain available for assistance till 2014 financial closing. The members of the DSM Managing Board and Supervisory Board wish to thank Mr. Schwalb for his contribution to DSM, his leadership in the finance area and his drive for integrated reporting and increased transparency. He has also been very instrumental in the shifts in DSM&rsquo;s portfolio, where his background brought fresh perspectives to the table.
