Proposal to elect two ne w members to the Board of Directors of Carlsberg A/S

The Board of Directors of Carlsberg A/S will recommend that the Annual General Meeting approve a proposal to elect Richard Burrows, Ireland, and Kees van der Graaf, the Netherlands, to the Board, replacing Jens Bigum, Deputy Chairman, and Henning Dyremose, Board member. The Annual General Meeting will take place on Thursday 12 March 2009.

"The acquisition of parts of Scottish & Newcastle has resulted in a significant transformation of Carlsberg, which is now a far bigger company with increased global exposure in the FMCG industry (Fast Moving Consumer Goods). This is reflected in the composition of the day-to-day management of the company, and it will also be reflected to a much higher degree in the Board of Directors, if the Annual General Meeting adopts the proposal to elect Richard Burrows and Kees van der Graaf. As members of the Board both will contribute with substantial international experience and inspiration within Carlsberg's business areas", says Povl Krogsgaard-Larsen, Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Richard Burrows is 63 years old and holds board positions in Bank of Ireland, Rentokil Initial plc., Mey Icki San. Ve Tic A.S., and Cityjet Ltd. Until 2005, Richard Burrows was joint CEO of Pernod Ricard and before that CEO of Irish Distillers. He also held the position as president of the Irish Business and Employers Confederation for a period of two years.

Kees van der Graaf is 58 years old and held the position of President Europe in the Board of Unilever until May 2008. He joined Unilever in 1976 and during his 32 years with the Company he held several top management positions within various FMCG categories. Amongst other external positions Kees van der Graaf is on the Board of Directors of the Dutch automobile club ANWB and he joined IMD, the Lausanne based Business School as an Executive-in-Residence in the autumn of 2008.

Jens Bigum, who joined the Board of Directors in 2001, retires from the Board in accordance with the age clause in the Articles of Association, whereas Henning Dyremose has decided to step down after 10 years on the Board of Directors.
