AMSTERDAM, January 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Amsterdam Molecular Therapeutics (Euronext: AMT), a leader in the field of human gene therapy, today announced that further to its plan of rotation to appoint independent directors to its Supervisory Board, the company will submit the appointment of Mr. Philippe van Holle, Head of Celgene Europe (NASDAQ: CELG) to its Annual General Meeting of shareholders. Mr. Van Holle is expected to replace non-independent director Raj Parekh of Advent Venture Partners, one of AMT's shareholders, who will step down. In the course of 2008, AMT expects to submit the appointment of several other highly qualified independent directors to its shareholders to replace all the current non-independent directors. Mr. Van Holle has 30 years of marketing and sales experience in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Most notably he was responsible at Amgen Europe for the commercial roll-out of Neupogen (R) and Epogen (R), the two first biotech blockbuster products. Subsequently he served as an executive at Genzyme Europe, overseeing the commercialization of Genzyme's orphan drugs. In 2005, he joined Celgene as Head of Celgene Europe. Over the past few years Celgene has grown into the fourth largest biotechnology company worldwide with a market capitalization of approximately $20 billion.

AMT's AGM is scheduled for April 16, and will take place at the Rosarium, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
