Board Appoints New Head of Global R&D to Executive Committee, Proposes Retiring Head to Join Board

Syngenta announced today that Dr David Lawrence, Head of Global Research and Development, will be retiring from Syngenta in April 2009. He will step down from the Executive Committee on 1 October 2008. From the same date, Dr Alejandro Aruffo (49) is appointed to the Executive Committee to succeed Lawrence. Until April, Aruffo and Lawrence will work closely together to ensure a seamless transition.

At the Syngenta Annual General Meeting in April 2009, Dr Peter Doyle, a founding member of the Board of Directors and Chairman of the Science and Technology Advisory Board, will retire having reached the statutory age limit of 70. Also at the 2009 Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors will propose to shareholders that David Lawrence be appointed to the Board to fill the vacancy created by Peter's retirement. This will enable Syngenta to continue to benefit from David Lawrence's extensive experience.

Michael Mack, Chief Executive Officer, said: "I would like to express my warmest appreciation to Dave for the 35 years he has served Syngenta and its legacy organizations. Dave worked across the full spectrum of the R&D function before joining the Syngenta Executive Committee in 2002. In this capacity, he has played a pivotal role in the success of Syngenta through his leadership of the R&D organization."

Alejandro Aruffo joined Syngenta earlier this year from Abbott Laboratories where he most recently served as Vice President, Global Pharmaceutical Development. Prior to this position he served as Vice President, Abbott Immunology R&D and President of the Abbott Bioresearch Center. He also served in a number of positions at Bristol-Myers Squibb. Alejandro Aruffo received bachelor's degrees in Chemistry and Mathematics from the University of Washington and a doctorate in Biophysics from Harvard University.

Syngenta is a world-leading agribusiness committed to sustainable agriculture through innovative research and technology. The company is a leader in crop protection, and ranks third in the high-value commercial seeds market. Sales in 2007 were approximately $9.2 billion. Syngenta employs over 21,000 people in more than 90 countries. Syngenta is listed on the Swiss stock exchange (SYNN) and in New York (NYSE: SYT).
