The Supervisory Board of Fugro N.V. proposes to recommend to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on 6 May 2010, the appointment of Mr. H.C. Scheffer as a member of the Supervisory Board.

Among other roles, Mr. Scheffer (62) was Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Royal Gist-Brocades N.V. and of Imtech N.V. (Internatio-Müller) and member of the Board of Management of Royal DSM N.V.

Furthermore he is a member of the Advisory Board of Heerema Group and of Gilde.

Mr. Scheffer is nominated in view of his experience as CEO of listed companies, his managerial qualities and experience, his technical background and his experience as a supervisory director.

It will also be proposed to the General Meeting of Shareholders to reappoint the Supervisory Directors whose 4-year appointment period end in May 2010. These are Messrs. G-J. Kramer, F.H.
