The resignation followed news that the former Philips chief had traded around NLG 700,000 (US$288,600) Ahold shares during a “closed period” in August 2000, before the company’s quarterly earnings were released. He also failed to report the sale.
Ahold spokesman Hans Gobes told Reuters: “It is against the model code that we have at this company.”
