| Fortis transformation reflected in new top management structures
Fortis will restructure its top management as of 1 January 2008.[1] The Executive Committee will be recomposed and responsibilities redistributed. A Business Executive Committee - which will replace the Fortis Management Committee - will be installed and will operate in closest collaboration with a Group Executive Committee. Taking into account the Fortis managers who have already taken up responsibilities within ABN AMRO, Fortis is convinced it now has the adequate management structure in place, not only to guarantee the successful integration of the acquired businesses, but also to develop Fortis as a whole. 1. The Group Executive Committee will consist of: * Jean-Paul Votron, CEO and Executive Director (Audit reports directly to the CEO); * Herman Verwilst, Deputy CEO and Executive Director (Human Resources, Public and External Affairs, Business Transformation Office report to the Deputy CEO); * Gilbert Mittler, Member of the Group Executive Committee responsible for Finance, Risk and General Counsel; * Filip Dierckx, Member of the Group Executive Committee responsible for Merchant Banking; * Lex Kloosterman, Member of the Group Executive Committee responsible for Private Banking, Asset Management, Investor Relations and Corporate Social Responsibility; * Camille Fohl, Member of the Group Executive Committee responsible for Retail Banking and for Global Branding and Communications; * Peer van Harten, Member of the Group Executive Committee responsible for Insurance and for Real Estate; * Alain Deschênes, Member of the Group Executive Committee responsible for Technology and Information Services, Operations, Facility, Purchasing and Process Improvement.

Man waylaid near Landran, robbed at gunpoint
A resident of Balachaur was allegedly robbed of Rs 2.5 lakh at gun-point on the Landran-Banur road this morning. According to the police, Varinder Kumar, a businessman from Balachaur, was going to Delhi when he was looted by two youths, who also bashed up his driver. Varinder Kumar, a cloth merchant, told the police that he was going to Delhi to buy merchandise. He was carrying a briefcase that contained Rs 2.5 lakh. He said when his car reached Tangori village, he saw a truck and a Maruti car were parked ahead blocking the road. His driver halted the car and before they could react, two youths came out of the Maruti car. While one started bashing up the driver, the other, who seemed to be carrying a gun, asked Varinder Kumar to hand over his purse, the briefcase and the other bags to him.
