[Mark H]

Mike Kimberley has been confirmed as the Chief Executive Officer of Group Lotus.

The announcement was made by the Lotus Group International Limited (LGIL) holding

company board on 20 September at the same time as Mr Kimberley was outlining the sports

car maker’s new high-level strategic five-year business plan.

A highlight of the plan, which has the holding company board’s full support, is the introduction

of a new mid-range Lotus set for launch in December 2008 and a Lotus/Proton highperformance

model, due in May 2008.

Mike Kimberley was the managing director of Lotus in the Colin Chapman era and took over

as CEO after Chapman’s tragic death in 1982. The holding company invited him to return to

Lotus in May this year in an acting role to review the Group business and operations.

Mike Kimberley, CEO, Group Lotus plc said: “I’m honoured that the main Proton holding board

has put their faith in me. Lotus has always shown great innovation and vision; as a team at

Lotus, we are all determined to realise the company’s full potential and justify Proton’s

confidence in us.”
