        Alain Le Goff, EVP Supply Chain, To Retire: Successor Announced        

After a 23-year distinguished career at Reckitt Benckiser Alain Le Goff, EVP
supply, is to retire from the business, effective mid-March 2009. He will be
succeeded by Amedeo Fasano, currently SVP supply in developing markets, who
will take his place on the Executive Committee.

Alain joined the company in 1986 as industrial director in France and then
Germany, and became overall logistics director shortly thereafter. He became
EVP supply ahead of the creation of Reckitt Benckiser and has served on the
executive committee ever since. He was the architect of both the SQUEEZE* and
X-trim* continuous cost optimisation programmes the business has followed,
which have helped drive the company's gross margin performance to one of the
highest in the industry.

Amedeo Fasano is announced as EVP supply. Amedeo joined the company in 1997 as
supply director for Italy. He has held supply leadership roles in Europe and
North America and is currently leading the supply function for developing
markets.
