Vevey, 19 December 2006 - Mrs. Nelly Wenger has informed Nestlé of her decision
to resign as Managing Director of Nestlé Switzerland in order to secure the
best possible conditions for her full recovery and allow the Company to ensure
management continuity at its Swiss subsidiary. Nestlé expressed its gratitude
for Mrs. Wenger's commitment over the two years she spent at the helm of Nestlé
Switzerland and for her understanding, and wishes her a complete recovery.
Mr. Hervé Cathelin, who had been asked to take over operational responsibility
of Nestlé Switzerland during her leave of absence for health reasons, will
continue to head the Swiss market.
