CSM GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING APPROVES DIVIDEND

Diemen, the Netherlands, 25 April 2007 – The General Shareholders' Meeting held today approved the proposed dividend of EUR 0.80 per (depositary receipt of an) ordinary share for financial year 2006 (pay-out ratio 54.3 %).

The dividend of EUR 0.80 per (depositary receipt of an) ordinary share is payable in cash on 8 May 2007, after deduction of dividend tax. The ex-date is 27 April 2007 and the record date is 2 May 2007.

The meeting also approved an amendment to the Articles of Association involving, amongst others, the termination of CSM's depositary receipts regime, and making the financing preference shares issued by CSM "IFRS proof."

As a result of the termination of the depositary receipts regime the depositary receipts of shares will be converted to shares as at 7 May 2007, which will be listed on Euronext Amsterdam as at the same date. Being "IFRS proof," the financing preference shares can again be included in the balance sheet as equity.

The shareholders also approved the re-appointment of Messrs. P. Bouw and W. Spinner as members of the CSM Supervisory Board.
