<B>PHILIPS LAUNCHES USD 2.5 BILLION GLOBAL COMMERCIAL PAPER PROGRAM</B><BR>
<BR>
<B>Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 26 February 2001</B> &#150; Royal Philips
Electronics of the Netherlands (AEX: PHI, NYSE: PHI) announced today that it is
launching a USD 2.5 billion Global Commercial Paper Program (CP Program). Under
this Program, Philips will issue commercial paper notes (&#147;Notes&#148;)
worldwide, which will be sold through a number of dealers. With maturities up to
365 days, it will provide an additional and flexible financing source, which
Philips will use for general corporate purposes.<BR>
<BR>
Philips expects to start drawing on the CP Program in the coming weeks. Philips
is presently borrowing short-term money from banks. The initial drawings will be
used to refinance maturing bank borrowings and to finance working capital
requirements.<BR>
<BR>
<I>For further information:<BR>
Ben Geerts, Philips Corporate Communications, tel: +31-20 59 77 215</I><BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<B>The Notes have not and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of
1933 (the &#147;Act&#148;) and may not be offered or sold in the United States
absent registration under the Act or an applicable exemption from the Act&#146;s
registration requirements.</B>
