Awards recognize company's innovative and effective use of online technology for Annual Report

Alphen aan den Rijn (November 23, 2011) - Wolters Kluwer, a market-leading global information services company focused on professionals,  received two awards from the Investor Relations Society in London yesterday. Wolters Kluwer's 2010 Annual Report (http://reports.wolterskluwer.com/2010/ar/servicepages/welcome.html) was awarded for 'Most effective use of innovative online technology to support investor relations communications' and internationally for 'Most effective overall Annual Report printed and online'.

Wolters Kluwer is honored by the recognition from the U.K.-based IR Society (http://www.irs.org.uk/news/towering-achievements-as-real-estate-cleans-up), a professional organization for the investor relations community that promotes best practice in investor relations in the U.K. and internationally.

"Being nominated as winner among the 220 applications to these awards is a wonderful recognition of our innovation and commitment to quality in everything that we do for our audiences," commented Nancy McKinstry, CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board of Wolters Kluwer. "It demonstrates our capabilities to implement new technology for delivering valuable solutions for our investors, customers, and other stakeholders. We are enabling our investor community with access to our information in meaningful and innovative ways to support their understanding of Wolters Kluwer."  

Michael Mitchell, general manager of the IR Society said, "The judges were looking for those companies which have constructively embraced new technology to help them get their investor relations message across, and for integration between the online and printed annual report. Wolters Kluwer was a worthy winner in both categories having shown a great commitment to providing a wide range of useful information to investors in easy to use formats across a number of technology platforms."
